DDA Advice
The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA: 1995 and 2005) is a key piece of legislation that all service providers (with the exception of the Armed Forces) and Public Authorities are tasked with implementing.
DDA is a "rights based" piece of legislation which does not identify exact standards or measurable outcomes. In Part 3 (Good Services and Facilities) the service provider is expected to determine how to implement access solutions. This means that there is very little that can be identified as being `DDA compliant'.
The Access Collaboration can provide:
- Expert advice on all issues pertaining to DDA legislation
- Expert advice on best practice for implementing policies and practices from the access perspective.
- Expert advice so that service providers offer optimal ‘reasonable adjustment' where removal of a barrier is impractical and to prevent a ‘less favourable' or ‘discriminatory service' (DDA: 2004, Part 3).
