"Of the 6.8 million disabled people of working age, 3 million (approx) are in work."

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) exists to protect, help and guide. Understanding the DDA will help your employees, customers, business or organisation in many ways.

Investing in understanding will help you to achieve best practice while illustrating how, when efforts are made and responsibilities met, costly legal repercussions can be avoided.

A workplace that is not accessible for disabled people could mean a missed opportunity for skills and potential customers as well as having possible legal implications.

The DDA is designed to be flexible taking into account circumstances of the individual business.
