Duty to promote disability equality

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 has been amended by the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 and places a duty on all public sector authorities to promote disability equality.

This duty will have a significant impact on the way in which all public services are run and on improving the lives of disabled people. It is part of a new breed of legislation that will serve to ensure that all public bodies build disability equality into the way in which they carry out their business.

This new legislation means that public sector bodies will have a duty to promote disability equality in all aspects of their work – similar to the Race Relations Amendment Act. From the police to health services, schools, local authorities, NHS trusts, central government, the entire public sector will have a duty to promote the equalisation of opportunities for disabled people.
