This week we look at provisions made for teachers with disabilities. We start by visiting a primary school to see what dyslexic headteacher Andy Richbell can learn from a visit by the Essex Disability Partnership Co-ordinators. Then presenter Peter Curran chats to Richard Rieser, Director of Disability Equality in Education, and Catherine Casserley, Senior Legislation Adviser for the DRC, answering questions about what the new legislation entails and how schools can meet the requirements of the Disability Equality Duty. Lastly we meet Henry Holmes, a partially sighted teaching assistant, as he takes his children on an exciting outward-bound course on the Isle of Wight. We hear about his experiences and how he overcame obstacles on his own journey to becoming a higher-level teaching assistant
