Dear All,
Re: disability response paper
Recently there has been some coverage of the Government's recent
consultation paper on "Special Educational Needs (SEN) and
Disability in Education Bill", which was published at
http://www.dfee.gov.uk/sen/consult.doc .
It is likely that the new law would increase demand for the research and
development on the accessibility of the education providers as discussed in
many parts of the conultation paper.
A response paper for this consultation is avaibale online at
at http://www.student.city.ac.uk/~cx639/disbill.htm .
This response paper has two main parts. In the first part, issues arising
from the consultation and response paper are summarised.
The second part presents the response paper itself.
The consultation period ended on 28 April 2000 and the Government intends to
legislate the service provision for the disabled students in higher
education (as well as in schools and further education) during the current
year.
Any comments, feedback, and guidance on this paper as well as the original
consultation paper would be most welcome.
