Hi, they are important as they give you the legal standing or backup to know you're right in challenging discrimination, defend, promote and support human rights and an individual's right to education & access to that education, to be free from harm, to express themselves and receive timely information
If you have access to the
level 2 STL handbook TDA on amazon.co.uk it'll have good reading for your course.
This is the sample chapter from
Pearsons schools and FE college TDA 2.4 support teaching and learning in schools
Hth, best wishes
