Footnotes
- The Disability Discrimination Act defines a disabled person as a person with a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day to day activities. The condition must have lasted or be likely to last at least 12 months to be classed as a disability.
- A child may have more than one disability recorded, therefore the disability category percentages may not sum to 100.
