Disability
Discrimination Act 1995
It is against the law for an employer of
any size (apart from the armed forces) to
discriminate against a disabled person because
of their disability. Service providers who
have not already done so need to take reasonable
steps NOW to make their services accessible,
because failure to do so could lead to loss
of reputation or even litigation. |
