Glossary

There are words and ideas in the DSE that you do not come across every day. This jargon can make it hard to understand what your rights are.

This glossary will help you to understand more about the DSE. It can also help you during conversations with teachers or staff members. There are three sections to this glossary: • The DSE

• Rights and laws • Everyday terms.

Each section includes words or phrases that are in the DSE or that come up in conversations about education.
