“The Importance is to provide access to people with disabilities, regardless of their abilities, everyone must receive the same services and access all the same places”
The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995
Many organisations, local authorities, shops, schools and employers must take numerous steps to remove all barriers and difficulties that current or future disabled customers, employees, or students may experience.
Everyone should receive the same standard of service, and all public spaces should be easy to access and safe for each person, regardless of ability.
Change a physical feature?
Sometimes a physical feature of a building or other premises may make it more difficult for you to access or use it.
Here are examples of physical features which it might be possible to change:
- steps and stairs
- passageways and paths
- entrances and exits
- internal and external doors
- toilets
- signs
- lighting and ventilation
- the size of premises
The Equality Act of 2010
The Act states the several changes or adjustments that company buildings, schools or shops should make to their property to ensure that anyone can access them:
- Places of employment (Office and business buildings, etc.)
- Housing and Apartment Blocks
- Educational Facilities (Schools, Colleges, University Buildings)
- Associations, Organisations and Private Clubs
- Goods and Hospitality Services (Shops, banks, hospitals, council offices, cinemas, leisure centres, etc.)
Make a reasonable adjustment?
Here are examples of reasonable adjustments:
- providing ramps and stairway lifts
- making doorways wider
- installing automatic doors
- providing more lighting and clearer signs
