The Equality Act 2010 contains a duty on schools to make reasonable adjustments for disabled pupils and this duty now extends to the provision by a school of auxiliary aids and services. The purpose of the duty is “to avoid as far as possible by reasonable means, the disadvantage which a disabled pupil experiences because of their disability.” For more information and technical guidance for schools and educational authorities on auxiliary aids please go to the Equality and Human Rights website.
