Course outline:

Does your organisation understand the legalities of making reasonable adjustment when safeguarding children and young people?

The emphasis on the need for awareness of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in safeguarding guidance continues to grow. It is critical to avoid unlawful discrimination and to discharge the duty to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010 as well as understand evolving Government guidance on best practice in supporting children with SEND.
This webinar highlights the legal landscape relating to disability discrimination and in particular your duty to make reasonable adjustments in safeguarding.

Training topics will include:

• Review key equality legislation and safeguarding guidance
• What is disability?
• Case study application of adjustments in safeguarding: are they reasonable?

Learning outcomes:

• Increase knowledge and awareness of key equality duties in safeguarding
• Review key legislation and guidance for SEND
• Consider the application of `reasonable adjustment’ decisions using case study scenarios and what it means for their practice and decision-making.
