Nationally Consistent Collection of Data
All schools are required to complete the annual Nationally Consistent Collection of Data (NCCD). The NCCD draws on the professional judgement of teachers and evidence of adjustments being provided for students with a disability, consistent with obligations under the Disability Standards for Education.
Information required for the NCCD
Each year schools will record and submit evidence based information about:
- the number of students receiving an adjustment for disability as defined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education
- the level of adjustment each student is receiving
- the broad category of disability of each student.
Students being provided with an adjustment for disability are included in the annual data collection where there is documented evidence held in the school of personalised learning and support for the student. This includes evidence that:
- the adjustment has been provided for a minimum of 10 weeks in the 12 months preceding the 2018 NCCD census date
- the adjustment is based on the assessed educational needs of individual students
- the adjustment is provided in consultation with the student and/or their parents and carers
- the impact of the adjustment is monitored
Each year in August, principals will verify the accuracy of NCCD data about students in their school receiving adjustments because of disability, based on evidences in the school.
