MR DOSZPOT: To ask the Minister for Education—

(1) How many public schools in the ACT currently have enclosures that can be used to prevent autistic students from wandering or absconding.

(2) How many students spent time in these enclosures in 2015 and how much time did students with disability spend in these enclosures.

(3) How are these enclosures, referred to as “adjustments” that schools make for students with special needs, described in the data that the ACT gave to the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability in 2015.

(4) How many enclosures were used to house autistic students for other purposes such as behavioural management and were these educational adjustments reported to the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability in 2015.

(5) What data did ACT Education give the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability about the blue “sanctuary” that received international attention.

(6) What information will be provided for parents from the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability and when will it be available to parents.

(7) Is preparing an ILP (or IED) for an autistic student that involves changes/modifications/omissions to/from regular curriculum an “adjustment”; if so, how many autistic students in the ACT have an ILP/IEP that does not include the regular curriculum for students of the same age.

(8) How is this reported to the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability.
