The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) is a U.K. law designed to protect individuals with disabilities from discrimination in various areas, including employment, education, and access to services. It requires organizations to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that disabled people can participate equally. The DDA defines disability broadly, covering a wide range of physical and mental impairments. This legislation aims to promote equality, ensuring that disabled individuals have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else, thereby supporting their full inclusion in society.
