IEU FAQs on NCCD evidence requirements
What is the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD)?
Per the NCCD website:
“Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards), Australian students with disability must be able to access and participate in education on the same basis as their peers. To ensure this, students with disability may receive adjustments to access education, based on the professional judgement of teachers, in consultation with the student and/or their parents, guardians or carers.
The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) gives Australian schools, parents, guardians and carers, education authorities and the community information about the number of students with disability in schools and the adjustments they receive. The Australian Education Regulation 2013 requires all schools to report the data collected for the NCCD to the Australian Government on an annual basis.”
Why has the IEU created an NCCD FAQs Sheet?
IEU members around Australia are already busy with their daily workload so our federal office (IEUA) have created a simple NCCD FAQs Sheet so that members can easily review the requirements.
The FAQs cover the following questions:
- What evidence do schools and teachers need to collect?
- How much evidence is required?
- Is it mandatory for schools to develop personalised plans such as ILPs and PLPs?
- How are schools required to store and present evidence?
- Do teachers need to annotate lesson plans?
- Can teachers and schools rely on the authority of the Fact Sheet?
