ERN-Disability Adjustment User Guide

1. Introduction Disability Adjustment
The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on students with disability (NCCD) will take
place in all Australian schools annually from 2015, aligned with the national school census in
August each year.
The data collection will be collecting the following information:
the level of adjustment provided;
number of students receiving each level of adjustment to participate in education
on the same basis as other students; and
the student’s broad category of disability.
ERN – Disability Adjustment menu option is a new menu option allowing recording and
maintenance of data on students with disabilities to support the nationally consistent
collection of data on school students with disability.
2. Overview
ERN will allow schools to identify students for inclusion in the national data collection for
students with a disability. Once these students have been identified, the school is able to
access a series of questions for each student. The responses to these questions will
determine whether the student will be included in the nationally consistent collection of data
on school students with disability.
