for disability inclusion leaders and coordinators

The adjustments happen every day. The evidence should too.

You have to show the evidence behind each student’s adjustments, but the people making those adjustments are in classrooms all day. Descant lets them tell you in two minutes, and shows you where the gaps are.

the problem

The disability inclusion coordinator at an Australian school, who has to show the evidence behind every student’s adjustments, is struggling to gather it from the educators who make those adjustments every day, leading to evidence rebuilt from memory before the census, and adjustments that happened going unrecorded.

Ask, don’t chase

Send an educator a secure request about a student. Their observation comes back checked, named and dated.

See the gaps early

Evidence is linked to each adjustment, so gaps show up during the year — not in the weeks before census.

Ready when you are

Produce a student’s NCCD evidence pack as a PDF when the school needs to show what it did and why.

Ask a question

Does Descant decide a student’s level of adjustment?

No. Descant organises the evidence. The level of adjustment and the category of disability are decided by your team through your school’s NCCD process.

How do educators add evidence?

You ask the educators who teach the student. They sign in to the educator portal, type (or, where your school has AI on, dictate) what they have seen, attach a work sample or plan if they have one, and send it. They see only their own notes and when the support team has reviewed them, never the case.

How does a note become NCCD evidence?

Deliberately. The case lead nominates it and the right line manager approves it. Then it is linked to the adjustment it supports, so you can see which adjustments are evidenced and which have gaps.

Can we produce evidence for moderation?

Yes — you can produce a student’s NCCD evidence pack as a PDF when the school needs to show its evidence.
