The Guide The Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 places new duties on the bodies responsible for providing post-16 education and related services. These duties are: Not to treat disabled people and students less favourably, without justification, than students without a disability; and To take reasonable steps to enable disabled people and students to have full access to further and higher education. This document provides guidance and examples of good practice to post-16 institutions on the reasonable actions responsible bodies should take to find out about people's disabilities. This document has no contractual or legal status. Download the Guide Please note that you will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and print the following file.
