EHRC - Disability in education
It is unlawful for education providers to treat you less favourably for a reason related to your disability or to fail to make reasonable adjustments to prevent you being placed at a substantial disadvantage. It is against the law for education providers to discriminate against you in the following areas:
admissions (including placing requests)
the curriculum, teaching and learning and other services which are provided wholly or mainly for students – including school trips and outings, school sports, leisure facilities and school meals, libraries and learning centres, work experience and student accommodation
by excluding you from an education institution or course.
The duty on Post-16 education providers to make reasonable adjustments includes the provision of auxiliary aids and services, and removing or altering physical features.
