Comparative findings should not conceal differences capable of changing their meaning.","The applicability described by the disability rights convention entered into force on 3 May 2008 changes the implementation context for the comparison. Entry into force or applicability establishes an operative reference point, but the resulting duties must still be traced to the persons, services and jurisdictions covered. Authorities should distinguish immediate duties from staged provisions, and providers should retain the legal and operational basis for any conclusion about application."]},{"heading":"Evidence and method","paragraphs":["The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities entered into force on 3 May 2008. Data used for disability-inclusive education should be interpreted against stable definitions and an identifiable population. Reporting should identify a break in comparability before describing movement over time. The public-interest assessment of the issue should consider access, learning, fair treatment and the reliability of information on which learners make consequential decisions. For education providers, the material question is whether domestic implementation and institutional practice remove barriers across the full learner journey.","Evidence concerning the issue should be current, attributable and representative of the affected scope. Material gaps or contradictions should remain visible in the conclusion. The public-interest assessment of a disaggregated analysis of the measure should consider access, learning, fair treatment and the reliability of information on which learners make consequential decisions. Any indicator used in relation to the issue should distinguish description from causal explanation. Interpretation should retain uncertainty, distributional differences and limits on generalisation.","Material differences in population, setting or method should remain explicit in any comparison. A reported result should state how outcomes are distributed and where transfer beyond the observed setting is not supported. The position on the issue should be established through proportionate evidence and should remain open to correction when material new information becomes available. Analysis of the issue should state the unit of analysis, reference period, coverage, exclusions and treatment of missing information.","Any indicator used in relation to the analysis should distinguish description from causal explanation. The result should be accompanied by distributional information, uncertainty and limits on transfer to another setting. Responsibility for the available evidence should be identifiable at each consequential decision point. Delegation should identify both the operating role and the body retaining oversight of learner impact.","Evidence outside the relevant period or scope should be identified and given no more weight than its limitations permit.

In the present context, delayed or inconsistent accommodation, assessment methods unrelated to intended outcomes and support dependent on repeated disclosure may produce acceptable aggregate reporting while individual learners remain exposed to material disadvantage.
