The Equality Act 2010 Consulting & Training
From 1 October 2010, the Equality Act replaced most of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). However, the Disability Equality Duty in the DDA continues to apply.
The Equality Act 2010 aims to protect disabled people and prevent disability discrimination. It provides legal rights for disabled people in the areas of:
- employment
- education
- access to goods, services and facilities including larger private clubs and land based transport services
- buying and renting land or property
- functions of public bodies, for example the issuing of licences
The Equality Act 2010 also provides rights for people not to be directly discriminated against or harassed because they have an association with a disabled person. This can apply to a carer or parent of a disabled person. In addition, people must not be directly discriminated against or harassed because they are wrongly perceived to be disabled.
Few commercial enterprises or public bodies have sufficient knowledge to be able to comply with the Act and FSB Enterprises Ltd can provide expert consultants who will survey, make recommendations and give training to personnel in order to help meet the compliance requirements.
