About the Webinar

Anti-discriminations laws require education providers to accommodate children with special needs, including where practicable, to make reasonable adjustments. This requirement is not as simple as it seems and can provide a challenge in the wider school environment. This session will look at the increasing obligations for schools in accommodating special needs, including:

  • What constitutes a disability?
  • Unpacking the obligation to make a “reasonable adjustment” and what it means in practice
  • Exceptions including “unjustifiable hardship” - cases and examples
  • The impact of NDIS funding on reasonable adjustments and allocation of responsibilities and costs
  • The final recommendations of the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with a Disability and their effect on schools
