Hi

That link goes to a non-functional page, however I think I found the correct
(2006) one at

http://www.drc-gb.org/docs/Post_16_Code_of_Practice.doc 

BEWARE the original (2003) post 16 CoP is still on the DRC website under
codes of practice and publications.  

You can download this as a word document, but be warned it runs to 210
pages.
Regards, deb

Dear colleagues

The new DRC post-16 Code of Practice is on their website at
http://www.drc-gb.org/the_law/legislation__codes__regulation/codes_of_pr
actice/new_dda_post-16_education_regu.aspx

There seems to have been a delay with getting this information on to
ECU's own website for which I apologise.

Best wishes
Robyn

Deb, 

Thank-you for this. I am patiently waiting for a reply from the DRC
regarding their intended publication date for guidance/C.O.P. on the
Amendment Regulations, but will give them a few more days to respond to
my
email request before contacting Mike Adams directly. I have also asked
whether or not the guidance/C.O.P. will include examples of competence
standards...

Regards,

Angela

You could try asking the Disability Rights Commission - there may be
some in
the new post-16 education code of practice which should be published by
now.

Mike Adams (formerly head of the National Disability Team) is now the
education person for the DRC but I don't have his direct contact
details. 

Come to think of it, it is not clear to me whether there is to be one
set of
competence standards overall (per profession) or whether each
institution
will create their own.    The other thing that is on-going is the DRC's
review of "fitness to practice" issues in relation to nursing, teaching
and
social work.  That would also have a bearing on the competence standards
issues. 

Regards, Deb

Angela,

I would be interested in seeing the responses you get from this message.

As far as Essex is concerned we had worries about some
qualification/standards for students at our acting school. I will see if
I can find out what the outcome was from our Student Disability team and
get back to you.

Best wishes,

Syd.

Dear all,

With reference to the imminent DDA Amendment Regulations 2006, could
anyone 
direct me to, or provide me with appropriate examples of competence 
standards which could be applied to vocational courses?

Angela
