The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 makes it unlawful to discriminate against a disabled person in connection with his employment, the provision of goods, facilities and services or the disposal or management premises, to make provisions about the employment of disabled person.

The act itself makes it unlawful for an employee or employer to treat a disabled person to detrimentally on the grounds of there disability. Provisions include all necessary provisions for job applicants, sub-contractors and employees. There is a further duty which is a positive duty on employers for them to provide “reasonable adjustment s” to working practices to make it possible for disabled employees to work effectively and not to be treated less favorably due to their disability. The legislation should allow disabled employees to work effectively on a level playing field with their able bodied colleagues, and not to be treated any better or worse than a non-disabled person.
