The review has examined the available literature related to the access, participation and outcomes for people with disabilities. It explores the range of barriers to access as well as describing some innovative models and their associated success factors. People with disabilities continue to be under-represented in the sector. Nevertheless, the provision of adequate support for individual participants is a key factor in ensuring good educational outcomes and maintaining their levels of participation.
