Information about appeals to the First-tier Tribunal for Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND), which includes disability discrimination in schools, is published at: www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics.

Failure to make reasonable adjustments is not recorded as a separate category of disability discrimination.

Those claims will be included in the “uncategorised” data set.
