Schools are required to carry out accessibility planning for all members of the school community with a disability. These are the same duties as previously existed under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) and which have been replicated in the Equality Act 2010:

• To promote equality of opportunity for disabled people: pupils, staff, parents, carers and other people who use the school or may wish to; and

• To prepare and publish a Disability Equality Scheme and Accessibility Plan to show how they will meet these duties.
