Watch our webinar tailored for Schools, Supporting Students with Disability: Navigating Legal Duties and Practical Realities in Schools. 

This practical webinar addresses the key legal challenges schools face in supporting students with disability and offers the opportunity to ask our legal experts your questions.

In this one-hour session, we cover the complex issues you raise with us, including:

  • Understanding what constitutes a “disability”
  • The scope of a school’s duty to make “reasonable adjustments”
  • Navigating exceptions like “unjustifiable hardship”
  • The impact of NDIS funding on schools’ obligations


Designed for school leaders, this session will provide clarity, practical guidance, and confidence to navigate these tricky legal obligations.

Chaired by Moores Practice Leader, Skye Rose (OAM), we have brought together a panel of Safeguarding experts, including:

  • Tal Shmerling, Senior Lawyer
  • Abbey Dalton, Associate
  • Samantha Guo, Lawyer


Join us to better understand your obligations, reduce risk, and help create a more inclusive learning environment for all students.
