Accessibility plans for education settings

Every education setting should use their accessibility self-evaluation framework (SEF) to inform their accessibility action plan.

The accessibility plan sets out how a setting is planning to improve accessibility for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities, their families, and staff.

The accessibility plan should cover what action is being taken to improve in the following areas:

• Curriculum
• Environment
• Information

The accessibility plan should be reviewed and reported on annually as part of a continuous process of improvement.

The accessibility action plan template (Word doc, 79 KB) has been co-produced with parent carer organisations, educational settings and professionals involved in special educational needs and/or disabilities and has been tested with education settings.  The fully editable template aims to support education settings to write and publish a comprehensive accessibility plan.
