The Disability Discrimination Act

The Disability Discrimination Act is a law that protects people with disabilities from unfair treatment in areas like jobs, education, housing, and access to services. It requires organizations to make reasonable adjustments so that disabled individuals can participate fully and equally. This could include providing ramps, interpreters, or adapted equipment. The law aims to promote equality, remove barriers, and ensure everyone has the same opportunities, regardless of their disabilities. It’s about respecting and supporting the rights of disabled people to live independently and be included in society.
