Scoil Mhuire Adult Education delivers all programmes without discrimination on the legally stated nine grounds (race, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, membership of the travelling community, religion, marital status and family status) with respect to access, delivery and assessment.

In accordance with the Equal Status Act, 2000 to 2004 Scoil Mhuire Adult Education ensures that selection procedures, entry requirements and programme content, delivery and assessment are adapted where possible to facilitate learners with a particular need, such as physical special need and/or other learners covered by equality legislation. This intervention or specific support service provided through the Director, Assistant Director(s), tutors and support staff facilitates the learner or group of learners to effectively participate in learning.

Any adaption of the assessment by the assessor will facilitate the learner to demonstrate their achievement of the standards without significantly altering the standard e.g.,where there are inadequacies in student literacy, the use of a scribe or video facilities can be utilised. The adaption will amend the aspects of the assessment technique or instrument which prevent a learner’s participation in the assessment. It is applicable where a particular assessment technique or instrument disadvantages the learner in assessment
