Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many classrooms in Scotland are inaccessible to wheelchair users.
Answer
The Scottish Government do not hold this information.
All local authorities in Scotland have a statutory responsibility to manage and maintain their school estate and the Scottish Government expect them to provide an accessible environment for all school users.
The Scottish Government’s Learning Estate Strategy is clear that learning environments should support the wellbeing of all learners, meet varying needs to support inclusion and support transitions for all learners.
