The Education (Disability Strategies and Pupils' Records) (Scotland) Act 2002 provides that bodies responsible for schools shall prepare accessibility strategies at prescribed intervals.

In the case of education authorities providing school education to pupils under school age and to children educated outwith schools, strategies will also be prepared for each place where such education is provided.

These regulations prescribe the intervals at which such strategies should be prepared (regulation 2) and the alternative forms in which responsible bodies should make their accessibility strategies available on request (regulation 3).
