The DDA (Disability Discrimination Act)…what is it?

The DDA was set up to protect those with disabilities in various situations. For example, in employment, education, premises and facilities or services.

The act applies to anybody who supplies goods, food or a service. This can include bus companies, food outlets, car washes etc. And as expected, the parties involved have a responsibility to act in a lawful way towards people with disabilities. Local authorities, private members clubs, transport providers are all have to take the act into consideration as part of their daily workload, not unreasonable in my view. Surely this is something that comes naturally and should become more common in England; it shouldn’t really need an Act to protect those with disabilities.

Due to the focus on the current financial climate people with disabilities could be at greater risk if cut back have to be made in a business, but this of course has to be on reasonable grounds, and if it is felt that those grounds were discriminatory then action can be taken. Companies can be taken to a tribunal if necessary, this has to be done within 3 months of leaving the employment.
