Hi everyone
It looks as though a loophole in the UK Disability Discrimination
Act is about to be filled.
The Disability Rights Taskforce has published its final report
entitled 'From exclusion to inclusion' which outlines plans to to
cover health, travel, housing and education within the Act. The
reports recommendations have been accespted by governement
but obviously it will take time for the legislation to be amended.
But good news, for all concerned. The government will be putting
30m into funding opportunities (mainly education) but presumably
clients / building owners will have to meet their own costs (as in
other areas of the DDA)
