The disability duties in the Equality Act

The Council for Disabled Children launched a new guide for early years providers that explains the disability duties in the Equality Act. Alongside the guide is a training package to support early years practitioners in applying the learning from the guide in their own setting. 

Together, the guide and the training are designed to support all those working in the early years in understanding the disability duties in the Equality Act, delivering high-quality, inclusive education and giving disabled children the best start in life. We hope it will support you in delivering this vision.
