The Standards help to make sure students with disability can access and participate in education and training on the same basis as students without disability. This includes preschool, school, vocational education and training, and higher education. The Standards explain the responsibilities education providers have under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992.  \nDuring the 2020 Review of the Standards we heard from students with disability, as well as their parents and carers and disability advocacy groups. We also heard from educators and education providers. The Review had a focus on the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and their families.  \nWe heard that some parts of the Standards need to be changed and that more people need to know about and understand the Standards. We also heard that we need to make sure the Standards are followed. Four areas where changes will be made are described below.  \nEmpowering and supporting students with disability and their families  \n| Students with disability and their parents and carers told us that there is a power imbalance between them and education providers. They felt it was up to them to understand the laws and education system so they can advocate for reasonable adjustments.\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>What will change How we will do it |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Information for students with disability and their families | + Work with people with disability to develop information products on the Standards that explain the rights of students with disability.\u003Cbr>+ Make sure that this information is provided to students and their families at relevant points in a student’s life. |\n| Clearer rules on consulting with students with disability and their families and handling issues and complaints | + Change the Standards to explain how education providers should:» consult with students with disability and their families about the\u003Cbr>supports and adjustments they need\u003Cbr>» handle issues and complaints relating to students with disability. |\n| Sharing information when students change schools | + Look at how to transfer relevant information about a student’s needs when they move from school to school or move into training or higher education. |\n\nStrengthening the knowledge and capability of educators and providers  \n| People told us that many educators are unaware of their responsibilities under the Standards or do not have the information they need to implement them. Students with disability had better experiences when their educators and education providers had a good understanding of the Standards and knew how to follow the Standards. |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| What will change | How we will do it |  |  |\n| Information for education providers | + | Develop information products on the Standards that explain the |  |\n|  |  | responsibilities of education providers. |  |\n|  | + | Provide examples of good practice in supporting students with |  |\n|  |  | disability. |  |\n| Training on the Standards for schoolteachers and leaders | + | Ask state and territory governments to make sure that all schoolteachers and leaders receive appropriate training on the Standards and supporting students with disability, including before they start their jobs. |  |\n| Including the Standards in higher education policies and practices | + | Make sure the Standards are included in the policies and practices of higher education providers. |  |\n\nDisability Standards for Education 2005-2020 Review Summary  \nMore accountability for the Standards throughout education  \n| People said accountability for making sure the Standards are followed needs to be improved. They wanted more information about how education providers follow the Standards. |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| \u003Cbr>What will change\u003Cbr>How we will do it\u003Cbr>Making sure education","cbCaiu3kxhSnm3IO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiu3kxhSnm3IO","pdf",314039,"English","# Overview of the 2020 Review\n## Purpose and scope of the Standards\n## Consultation and key focus areas\n# Changes to support students with disability and families\n## Empowering and supporting students and families\n## Clearer rules on consulting and handling complaints\n## Sharing information when students change schools\n# Strengthening educator and provider knowledge and capability\n## Information for education providers\n## Training for schoolteachers and leaders\n## Including the Standards in higher education policies and practices\n# Increasing accountability across education\n## Policy alignment with the Standards\n## Vocational education and training improvements\n## Public information on school supports\n## Data and reporting on participation\n## Auditing how well the Standards are followed\n# Building awareness in early childhood education and care (ECEC)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Disability Standards for Education 2005?\",\"answer\":\"The Standards help ensure students with disability can access and participate in education and training on the same basis as students without disability, including across multiple education sectors.
