Disability Equality Scheme - Deadline Approaching

Disability Equality Scheme - A Reminder

In line with the Disability Equality Duty 2005, your school's Disability Equality Scheme should be in place by 3rd December this year.

Since the legislation requires consultation with disabled people and information gathering in a number of areas, it will be necessary to start work (if you have not already done so) as soon as possible.

DCSF Guidance 'Implementing the DDA in Schools and Early Years Settings' can be obtained free of charge to school addresses from DCSF Publications - Tel 08456 022260 quoting reference 0160-2006DOC-EN.

Information is available online on the Norfolk Schools Site.

Support can be obtained from your School Support Team or email Kim Barber, Disability Co-ordinator or contract by telephone on 01603 671415.
