The Govt. has announced funding (£25m) for a Disability Rights Commission;
the first 3m becoming available to establish it in 1999/2000.
Margaret Hodge, Minister for Diabled People is quoted as making the announcement
which I got from the DfEE website. One of the DRC briefs is to investigate discrimination
and ensure compliance with the law. How this will work out in practice is anyone's guess.
I do not find litigation or an Industrial tribunal works well in my areas of interest -
dyspraxia and dyslexia.
