"Discussion points on the Disability Discrimination Act"

August 2004

In a paper prepared for construction programme Video TEN (the Einstein Network), Simon Tolson considers the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act and, in particular, looks at the steps which need to be taken from 1 October 2004 to ensure that premises comply with that legislation, the aim of which is to curb discrimination against disabled people in their access to the provision of services and employment. The paper includes practical advice on compliance.
