>From Terry Waller of Becta Terry.waller at becta.org.uk:
Alison Thompson from DfES has asked me to bring the following resource to 
people's attention. The shortened version of the pack produced last year by 
DfES is in response to requests from people working in other sectors or in 
training institutions.
Implementing the Disability Discrimination Act in schools and early years 
settings
A training resource for schools and local authorities (a shortened pack)
The shortened pack (containing the 3 DVDs and CD-ROM) has been put together 
to provide access to additional copies of the Implementing the Disability 
Discrimination Act in schools and early years settings training resource. 
The pack is for schools and local authorities and those working with them to 
support disabled children and young people.
It will be of interest to professionals working in the early years sector, 
providers of training for teachers and learning support assistants and their 
students, disability and parental support and advocacy organisations and 
health and social service professionals.
