The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 requires all services providers and employers to remove all physical barriers to their services facilities which are accessible to the public. By 1st October 2004 all service providers must have made “reasonable” adjustments to the physical features of their premises. In fact, any premises which are open to the public must be able to prove that they have taken reasonable steps to meet the requirements of the Act.
A popular misconception is that the Disability Discrimination Act Part III covers only physical wheelchair access to your ‘premises. This is not so: – It covers all forms of access to goods and services, including provision of access for the partially sighted (such as assistance with form filling, signing of documents) wheelchair access, those with impaired hearing or vision, physical disabilities such as arthritis and those with learning difficulties, to name but a few.
