Explanatory note

Section 5(7A) of the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 provides that financial support by a further education funding council to the governing body of an institution within the further education sector must be subject to a condition requiring the institution to publish disability statements at prescribed intervals. A disability statement is a statement containing information of a prescribed description about the provision of facilities for education made by the institution in respect of disabled persons.

These regulations prescribe the information which must be contained in a disability statement (regulation 2) and the intervals at which such statements should be published (regulation 3).
