Outreach activities on the implementation of the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) (related to the UK only) Ms. Kingham wrote recently that: "I work for a housing association that provides services to people with learning disabilities and mental ill health. We are looking for a trainer to provide anti-discriminatory training to 140 staff members. Does anyone know of any good trainers in antidiscriminatory practice?" A research project at City University in London has looked into the public policy issues emerging from the implementation of the Disability Discrimination Act within the employment, education and service contexts since 1st October 1998. Although the main research output has been of the academic nature, it may be possible to offer a range of outreach activities aimed towards the disabled people themselselves and their carers and the related service providers in collaboration with the other players (subject to resource constraints). The Act has been in force over five years by 2 December 2001. It has been found exteremely 'complex' by many players such as judges of the Court of Appeal. ________________________________ Ozcan KONUR Postal address: Rehabilitation Resource Centre (Walmsley Building Room W223), City University, Northampton Square, London EC1V 0HB, The United Kingdom.
