Hi Cathy
ok you got my attention
from the DRC website:
since December 1996 it has been unlawful to treat disabled people less
favourably than other people for a reason related to their disability;
since October 1999 they have had to make reasonable adjustments for disabled
people, such as providing extra help or making changes to the way they
provide their services;
from 2004 they may have to make reasonable adjustments to the physical
features of their premises to overcome physical barriers to access.
everyone talks about it being October 2004 for the last instalment.
Also with the SENDA it is a year behind, so educational establishments
presumably have until October 2005 to get their act together for physical
adjustments.
Is this what you wanted?
