DISABILITY AND THE LAW
- ADJUSTMENTS TO PREMISES Disability Discrimination
Act 1995
On October 1st 1999 the
statutory rights of disabled persons to have better access
to goods and services came into force under Part III
of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. A service provider
now has to ensure that it takes reasonable steps to:
- Change
a practice policy or procedure which makes it
impossible or unreasonably difficult for disabled persons
to make use of its services;
- Provide
an auxiliary aid or service if it would facilitate the
use of its services by disabled persons;
- Provide a
reasonable alternative method of making its services available
to disabled persons where a physical feature makes it
impossible or unreasonably difficult for disabled persons
to make use of those services.
