The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
From October 2004, employers became responsible for its implementation within their organisations and can face legal action by failing to do this. In a nutshell, the DDA prevents any employer with 15 or more employees from discriminating against any disabled person either in the hiring and subsequent employment of that person, or, as is very common, where an employee becomes disabled whilst employed by that company.
(The Disability Rights Commission website (www.drc-gb.org.uk) is particularly useful
in checking to see if your company complies with the many different aspects
of the DDA.)
