Nationally Consistent Collection of Data
The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (NCCD) is an annual collection of information about the number of students across Australia receiving adjustments due to a disability. All Australian schools are required to participate in the NCCD.
The data collected is used by schools, education authorities and governments to better understand the needs of students with disability and how they can best be supported at school.
Our school is now in the process of collecting this data. The NCCD draws on teachers' professional judgement and practices throughout the year supporting students with disability to access and participate in education on the same basis as other students.
The NCCD model is based on mandatory obligations to students under the national Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) and Disability Standards for Education 2005 (DSE). Understanding the legal obligations to students with disability is essential for all staff.
