Problem no 635 with the DDA............
Not sure that there's a way that this sort of requirement is covered by the
DDA, although we perhaps all agree that it should be, unless there's
evidence of discrimination in provision between provision for different
disability groups. My rudimentary knowledge of these things suggests that
the Human Rights Act may be more appropriate.
This leads me to the questions of whether conferences/seminars/information
sharing sessions etc. can serve the anti discrimination cause well if they
do not cover both and whether we should be encouraging both Acts to be
considered (i.e. seeing the whole of the picture rather than one narrow area
such as the DDA)
Just a thought............. UK centred, I admit, but other members may be
able to ad their experiences.
