The Special Educational Needs and Disability Rights in Education Bill will give disabled pupils and students the right to a mainstream education and rectifies one of the major weaknesses of the Disability Discrimination Act. We are looking forward to developing Codes of Practice which will help education providers ensure that they deliver opportunities to disabled people that have been denied for so long. The DRC has decided to set up a conciliation service to ensure that disabled students, pupils and education providers have access to a fair and impartial service to resolve disputes and seek effective solutions.
