The Disability Discrimination Act [DDA] is a legal tool that prevents service providers and employers from treating disabled people less favourably than able bodied people. Service providers are obliged by law to take reasonable steps to their service to enable use by all on an equal basis, whether they are disabled or able bodied. This often requires alterations to their premises. It is unlawful under the Disability Discrimination Act for service providers to;

• Refuse to provide a disabled person with the same service offered to able bodied people
• Discriminate by offering services on different levels
• Discriminate by offering a lower standard of services
• Fail to take reasonable steps to comply with the provisions of the Act.
