Claims

Children, their parents, and young people can make a claim of disability discrimination in school to the Education Tribunal for Wales (ETW).
(Claims of Disability Discrimination against Further Education Institutions (FEIs) should be made to the County Court.)

Children and young people may also find the information on the children and young people page of our website helpful. If you want, you can ask an adult to help you with your claim.

The Publications Register is a list of links to all of our guidance booklets and forms. Please download them from this website, or contact us if you would like us to send you copies by post. You will need to send completed forms by email or post to the Education Tribunal for Wales.

You can find these documents at the bottom of the page:
