Participants can plan accessible information and assistive technology provision within available resources.

• Accessible formats include large print, Braille, captions, audio and easy-read
• Assistive technology needs assessed through task demands and learner preferences
• Procurement specifications require compatibility, durability, training and maintenance support
• Digital accessibility checks cover headings, contrast, keyboard access and alternative text
• Low-tech adaptations include visual schedules, adapted grips and communication boards
• Information-sharing protocols protect learner privacy while enabling coordinated support

Participants can establish coordinated referral and case-management processes for learner support.

• Multidisciplinary teams combine education, health, psychosocial and protection perspectives
• Referral criteria distinguish classroom adjustments from specialist assessment needs
• Case-management pathways define intake, consent, action, review and closure
• Role matrices clarify responsibilities using Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed assignments
• External service directories map health, rehabilitation, welfare and protection providers

Participants can build respectful partnerships with learners, families and representative organisations.

• Strengths-based communication frames learners beyond diagnoses and perceived limitations
• Family meetings prepare agendas, accessible information and agreed follow-up actions
• Supported decision-making includes learner preferences in age-appropriate planning
• Parent concerns handled through listening, clarification, options and documented agreements
• Disabled persons' organisations contribute lived experience and accessibility advice
• Community awareness plans address stigma, myths and discriminatory language

Participants can integrate inclusion considerations into safeguarding, wellbeing and behaviour management systems.

• Safeguarding risk assessments identify heightened risks of abuse and neglect
• Accessible reporting channels enable disclosures through trusted adults and alternative communication
• Anti-bullying procedures address disability-based harassment, exclusion and cyberbullying
