Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)– Brief
Summary
|
|
The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995
aimed to end the discrimination many
disabled people face, giving important
protection, including the duty of service
providers to make reasonable adjustments for
disabled people so that they do not face
difficulties with access to services. This
duty came into force on 1st October 2004. |
|
The duty to make adjustments included taking
reasonable steps to change any practice,
policy or procedure and to remove, alter or
provide means to avoid any physical feature
which made it impossible or unreasonably
difficult for disabled persons to make use
of a service. |
