Equality and human rights
Equality and Human Rights Commission (formerly Disability Rights Commission)
|From October 2004 the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) places a legal duty on all those who provide services to the public to make reasonable adjustments to the physical environment of their premises to ensure that disabled people can access their goods, services and facilities.
Retailers, cafés, leisure departments, cinemas, health services and banks are just some of the service providers who use local authority planning and building standards services. We can provide timely, accurate and authoritative advice and information to help them meet these duties.
You can find additional information and advice on the responsibilities of businesses, employers and public authorities on their website. Look under 'For businesses and organisations', then under 'Service providers' and 'Employers'.
