Voxly Tuition Accessibiity Plan Policy:

Introduction

The Disability Discrimination Act 2005 requires educational institutes to cater for enrolled children who, due to a physical or mental impairment, are less able to fully access the range of facilities the Tuition Centre offers.

Voxly Tuition is committed to providing excellent, high-quality tutoring for all pupils. We recognise that the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, as amended by the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 (DDA), places a duty on all public sector authorities to promote disability equality. As part of these duties, educational institutes are required to publish a Disability Access Policy.

This policy sets out the criteria to be followed and ensures that the Tuition Centre fully complies with its legal obligations. At the heart of this policy is our belief that Every Child Matters. All staff strive to ensure that, where reasonably possible, no child is placed at a disadvantage.

The General Duty

The general duty requires public authorities to adopt a proactive approach, mainstreaming disability equality into all decisions and activities.

The Institute must have due regard to:

  • Promoting equality of opportunity between disabled people and others.
  • Eliminating unlawful discrimination under the DDA.
  • Eliminating disability-related harassment.
  • Promoting positive attitudes towards disabled people.
  • Encouraging disabled people’s participation in public life.
  • Taking steps to take account of people’s disabilities, even where this involves treatment that is more favourable.

Definition of Disability

The Institute will use the definition provided by the DDA:

“A person is disabled if they have a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.”

This policy recognises that there is no longer a requirement for a mental impairment to be clinically well-recognised. In line with recommendations from Disability Equality in Education, Voxly Tuition accepts that all pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN) and those with long-term medical needs should be treated as disabled for the purposes of the Act and for equality.

Involvement of Disabled People in Creating This Plan

The Head of Department, Department Supervisor, and Management—who have experience working with physically disabled pupils—have been involved in the development of this plan.

Consultation with Pupils

The Tuition Centre will consult with pupils through:

  • Pupil awareness sessions informed by sharing the scheme during school council meetings.
  • Class-based discussions during Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) Education and Philosophy sessions.
  • Information captured during the admission process.

Our tutoring staff are equipped to comprehensively plan for the needs and wellbeing of all pupils. The Institute will ensure that reasonable adjustments to working conditions are observed and provided where necessary.

Informing the Tuition Centre of a Disability

For Staff

  • Employees are asked about any disabilities through the job application form.
  • The Tuition Centre adheres to Safer Recruitment guidelines.
  • A record is kept of staff who have declared a disability.
  • The decision to disclose a disability lies with the individual.
  • The Institute will not treat any staff member or potential staff member less favourably due to a disability.
  • We aim to promote an ethos where disclosing a disability is beneficial for all.
  • If a person wishes to maintain confidentiality, the Institute will still endeavour to make reasonable adjustments.

 

For Pupils

  • The decision to disclose a disability lies with the pupil and their parents.
  • However, Voxly Tuition believes that the greatest benefit for all pupils comes from informing the Institute, as this empowers us to make reasonable adjustments.

Staff Development

The Tuition Centre values staff development and encourages all staff to train and develop their skills.

The Institute will also take appropriate steps to communicate to all staff, children, and parents that harassment or bullying of any kind will not be tolerated.

Overcoming Physical Barriers

All proposed physical changes to the Tuition Centre buildings and grounds will be considered from an accessibility perspective before they are implemented.

The accessibility plan will be amended as appropriate to reflect any physical changes to the Tuition Centre environment.

Learning Opportunities

All learning opportunities will be made available to every pupil, regardless of disability. Staff will consider any reasonable adjustments that may be needed.

  • The Department Supervisor/Head of Department is responsible for ensuring that tutoring staff are supported in making and recording reasonable adjustments on the provision map.
  • The Tuition Centre will regularly survey staff views on their ability to make reasonable adjustments.
  • The results will provide valuable information for Continued Professional Development (CPD) and Performance Management targets.

Monitoring Effectiveness

  • The scheme will be reported on annually and discussed with staff at the beginning of each academic year.
  • The Tuition Centre is committed to developing positive attitudes towards disabled people, and this is delivered within the curriculum.
  • In certain situations, a specific disability and its effects may need to be made explicit to groups of children.
  • The Institute will maintain confidentiality within the class community and will obtain parental consent before sharing any information with peers.

Where the Institute has knowledge of a child’s disability, reasonable adjustments will be made to learning situations—including communication stylesteaching methods, and differentiated curriculum.

Recording and Assessing Adjustments

  • The Tuition Centre will make reasonable adjustments for children.
  • A system of provision mapping has been adopted to record and assess the effectiveness of these adjustments.
  • The Tuition Centre is improving its information-gathering system on admission and will record and inform all staff of previous adjustments for pupils.

Assessment and Transition

The Institute has effective assessment and monitoring policies for all children, specifically those considered to be disabled.

These systems enable effective transition planning and activities for all pupils.

The Institute will also consider its risk assessment guidelines as part of the physical intervention policy in relation to disabled children. This enables staff to:

  • Make reasonable adjustments to the environment.
  • Develop strategies to meet the needs of children with social, emotional, and behavioural disabilities.

Consulting with Children, Parents, and Carers

The Institute will strive to ensure that parents and carers receive the support necessary to enable their children to make progress.

  • The Tuition Centre will target communication with parents as part of the Disability Accessibility Scheme.
  • As part of the monthly review process, the Tuition Centre will seek parents’ views.
  • It is our intention to use these contributions to improve and develop our procedures.

Monitoring and Review

The effectiveness of this scheme will be reviewed and evaluated by Management at least annually.
