Disability: 15 March-21 MarchThe Disability Discrimination Act, which came into force in 1995, places a responsibility on employers and service providers to make “reasonable adjustments” to enable buildings to be more disabled friendly. This may include the provision of entrance ramps and disabled toilets. For the purposes of the Act, a person has a disability if he or she has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on their ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities. This Act has now been repealed and replaced by the Equality Act 2010, except in Northern Ireland where it still applies. Pray for disabled people who are prevented from using their skills and talents in the workplace. Pray that disabled people throughout the UK can gain improved access to public transport. |
