Who needs an Access Audit?
Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995
Since October 1999 the DDA has required that all service providers make “reasonable adjustments” to their service to ensure that disabled customers are not treated less favourably. Legislation introduced in October 2004, requires Service Providers to make adjustments to premises to overcome any physical barriers to providing that service.
Service Providers
Can a disabled customer enter your building unaided and receive the same or equal service as your other customers?
Have you made the “reasonable adjustments” to your services, that you are now required by law to have made in order to provide that service?
If you answered “no” or “don’t Know” to any of these questions, consider an Access Audit of your premises.
Employers
