3. Why Should I Bother?
- Legal Requirements
As a result of the 2004 revisions to the Disability Discrimination Act it will be unlawful for service providers to fail to make reasonable adjustments to the physical features of service premises. If companies fail to make these adjustments then they will be liable to complaints from disabled people which could then result in prosecution. Groups such as the BDOC (The British Council of Disabled People) support and campaign for the rights of disabled people and will seek to ensure that service providers comply with the DDA.
- The Business Case
Companies should ensure that they are proactive with regards to the new legislation. This is to ensure that they do not break any laws. However, there is also a business case for making adjustments to the way that services are provided. There are over 8.5 million disabled people in Great Britain with a collective spending power of over £40bn per year. With such spending power service providers can not afford to ignore the needs of disabled people within the community.
