04/12/2006 - Disability Equality Day
From 4 December 2006, the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 places a duty on all public sector bodies to promote disability equality. This will transform the way public services are run across Britain.
The Disability Equality Duty places a duty on the public sector to promote disability equality, similar to the duty to promote race equality under the Race Relations (Amendment) Act. It requires people to promote equality at the beginning of the process, rather than make adjustments at the end.
"The Disability Equality Duty will have a major impact on the lives of disabled people and will radically shift the way public authorities deliver their services," said DRC chairman Bert Massie.
"Public bodies - from the local library to the NHS - will have to consider what disabled people need when planning their services. This is a step-change away from individual disabled people having to complain about discrimination after an incident has taken place," said Massie.
