Under The Disability Discrimination Act 1996, individuals with disabilities are granted the right to equal employment opportunities. The Act also mandates fair treatment in the workplace for those with physical or mental disabilities. In all aspects of employment, from recruitment and training to benefits and promotions, disabled persons must be treated with fairness and equality.
The Disability Discrimination Act 1996 defines a disabled person as an individual with a mental or physical impairment which has a long-term or permanent effect on their ability to engage in the normal activities of day-to-day life. The definition of 'disabled' under this Act is fairly broad. If you are unsure as to whether the Act applies to your particular condition, contact us today to speak with a disability discrimination solicitor who can advise you on these issues.
The Disability Discrimination Act 1996 places a number of different responsibilities and requirements on employers. One such requirement is for an employer to accommodate the needs of disabled employees by making reasonable structural alterations to their place of business, such as installing a ramp.

According to The Disability Discrimination Act 1996, the disability discrimination laws can be violated in one of two ways. One type of violation occurs when an employer intentionally treats disabled employees differently from other employees, if this treatment puts the disabled person at a disadvantage. The second type of violation occurs when an employer does not make reasonable accommodations for the disabled employees needs.
