So, what is a reasonable adjustment in schools? And, what can schools and universities do to improve access for all and meet fire safety requirements in education?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a reasonable adjustment?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Equality Act 2010 tackles disability discrimination in schools and other organisations or businesses across society. It sets out a responsibility to remove barriers experienced by someone who has a disability. Anyone who has a disability should be able to receive the same service as far as possible as someone who is not disabled. What is considered a \u2018reasonable\u2019 adjustment will depend on things like the size of the organisation, and the money and resources available. It will also depend on the needs of the individuals who attend the setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reasonable adjustments and fire safety in education<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/fire-safety-risk-assessment-means-of-escape-for-disabled-people\/fire-safety-risk-assessment-means-of-escape-for-disabled-people-accessible-version\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">current fire safety regulations,<\/a> it is the duty of the Responsible Person for the building to provide a <a href=\"\/on-site-fire-risk-assessment\/\">fire safety risk assessment<\/a>  that considers the needs of <strong>all of its users<\/strong>. It should contain an emergency evacuation plan for all people likely to be on the educational premises. This includes anyone who is disabled or has additional needs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/1995\/50\/contents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA)<\/a> also supports these regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.safelincs.co.uk\/emergency-evacuation-chairs\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.safelincs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EvacChair-disabled-escape-plan.jpg\" alt=\"Evacuation chairs are a reasonable adjustment\" class=\"wp-image-9597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.safelincs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EvacChair-disabled-escape-plan.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.safelincs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EvacChair-disabled-escape-plan-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.safelincs.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/EvacChair-disabled-escape-plan-768x528.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An EVAC+CHAIR can be used to safely evacuate anyone with a permanent or temporary mobility impairment in an emergency<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The reasonable adjustments in schools need to meet legal requirements for disability and fire safety, and depends on what is set out in your fire risk assessment. It will also depend on the needs of the individuals who attend your school or university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What examples are there of reasonable adjustments in schools or higher education establishments for fire safety?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A reasonable adjustment can be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A change to the way things are done such as a change to a rule or policy. For example, this might involve a change to an escape route.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A change to a physical or architectural feature in a building or outside areas. This could include using a <a href=\"\/dorgard-and-other-fire-door-retainers\/\">fire door retainer<\/a> on internal fire doors to allow easier access for all or installing visual <a href=\"\/conventional-sounders-and-beacons\/\">fire alarm beacons<\/a> with louder audible sirens for anyone who has a hearing impairment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provision of extra services or aids. This could include providing an evacuation aid such as an <a href=\"\/emergency-evacuation-chairs\/\">evacuation chair<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of changes and extra aids or services will depend entirely on your circumstances and the needs of the individuals who attend your school or university.
