Accessibility for children and young people with a disability in education settings

As part of the Equality Act duty, all schools are required to have an accessibility plan. For more information, see Schedule 10: Accessibility for disabled pupils in the Equality Act 2010.

Norfolk County Council (NCC) is committed to ensuring that all children and young people (CYP) attending education settings in Norfolk have every possible opportunity to thrive. For this to be achieved, it is essential that education settings provide inclusive, welcoming and adaptable learning environments that enable the needs of the pupils in their community to be met.

In order for us to support education settings with accessibility plans, we would like to understand the views of children and young people (CYP). The Youth Forum members have co-designed an accessibility survey which they would like you to share with the CYP in your setting who have a disability.

The information will be anonymised. It will be used to understand the priorities that we need to focus on in Norfolk.
