LEGAL UPDATE

New post-16 education duties from 1 September

New laws affecting the post-16 education sector came into force on the
1 September 2006. Education providers can no longer justify the
failure to make a reasonable adjustment and harassment and direct
discrimination have been made unlawful.

The DRC's Code of Practice has been revised to take account of these
changes and is available on the website. The Code has yet to receive
to parliamentary approval.
