The
Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability
(the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of
school students receiving an adjustment due to disability and the level of
reasonable adjustment they are receiving.
The
national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school
team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability as defined under the Disability
Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA). The DDA can be accessed from
the ComLaw website at www.comlaw.gov.au.
The data for 2017 is due to be submitted August 4 by all schools nationally. If
you require further information contact your child’s classroom teacher.
