[senco-forum] Disability Equality Duty

Dear Chris,
My understanding is that this applies to all secondary schools now, and
primaries later this year, whether independent or maintained. There is some
help here:

and guidance here:

Hope that helps,
Mary

As a new SENCO at an independent secondary school this year, there have
been 
many things to get to grip with! Can anyone confirm whether independent  
schools are also required to produce a Disibility Equality Scheme or is it
just  
schools within the state sector at the moment.
thanks
Chris
