1.1 Summarise key aspects of legislation, regulatory requirements and codes of practice relating to own role and responsibilities
The relevant legislations for teachers and/or trainers are as follows:
The Disability Discrimination Act 1995:
This act aims in taking steps to make reasonable adjustments to overcome the physical barriers to access for disabled people in areas of employment, education, access to goods, facilities and services, buying or renting land or property and functions of public bodies.
I will have to make sure that disabled students are identified during the initial assessment process and are provided with facilities available from the service provider, to help them continue their education like other students for example while doing experiments and outdoor activities.
The Sex Discrimination Act 1975:
According to this act, it is unlawful to discriminate on the grounds of sex, marital status or gender reassignment, in employment, education, provision of goods, facilities and services.
I should not discriminate or exclude students on the grounds of sex, in access to classes, courses or other facilities provided by the service provider.
The Race Relations Act 1976:
This act prohibits discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, nationality or ethnic origins, in employment, education, provision of services and facilities.
I have to consider race equality and make it an everyday part of teaching and learning.
Children’s Act 1989, Every Child Matters 2003:
This act helps safeguard and promote the welfare of children who are in need and also to promote the upbringing of such children by their families. Every child should get the support they need to be healthy, be safe, enjoy and achieve economic well-being.
I will have to include every student in the class and deliver classes that improve the life
