Equality Act 2010 Explanatory Notes

Examples

  • A school with a number of disabled pupils could negotiate special arrangements for pupils who are taking exams.

  • A school could provide Braille texts to a blind pupil at the start of lessons so they have access to the same information as other pupils.

  • A university has a revolving door which causes some problems for disabled pupils and under these duties it may be reasonable for them to replace the door with a sliding one.

  • To ensure that a pupil who needs a wheelchair is not disadvantaged by being left out of PE lessons, a school consults a physiotherapist and devises special activities for the pupil to carry out in PE.
