New DfE guidance “Inclusive Education Estates”

Just in case, like me, you missed this item on the DfE’s weekly update, the DfE has issued new guidance for local authorities, schools, colleges, professional advisers etc. There is a helpful section on funding disability adaptations in all phases and settings, including Early Years and Post 16. The guidance covers acoustics, ventilation, lighting, quiet spaces, thermal comfort (so important at the moment!), furniture, as well as toilets of course.
