For instance, you might exclude an autistic pupil from a school trip because you believe that they won't be able to join in the activities. Direct discrimination will always be unlawful.
Discrimination can take many forms, such as excluding students with disabilities, giving them unequal treatment, harassment, retaliation or failing to provide reasonable accommodations. The ban on discrimination applies to all school programs- both academic and nonacademic.
Discrimination can take the form of refusal of enrolment, expulsion from the school, removal from the class setting to another location, suspension from school, exclusion from educational activities, or refusal to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate an autistic person's needs (WHO, 2022).
Discriminatory harassment occurs when conduct is: 1. Based on a student's protected class, AND 2. Serious enough to create a hostile environment. Discriminatory harassment can involve conduct between students, employee-to-student conduct, and conduct involving school visitors.
