Do you know your responsibilities in relation to disabled children under the Equality Act 2010?

The Council for Disabled Children has published guidance and training to help early years practitioners, governors and trustees understand their responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 in relation to disabled children.

These free resources, commissioned by the Department for Education, support inclusive practice and aim to improve outcomes for disabled children.  The training is designed to help early years providers to meet their legal duties and create environments where every child can participate and thrive.

The training includes four short modules:

• Knowing who’s disabled
• Understanding your duties under the Equality Act
• Making reasonable adjustments
• Taking a whole-setting approach
