The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)

The Disability Discrimination Act is a piece of legislation that promotes civil rights for disabled people and protects disabled people from discrimination.

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 aims to end the discrimination that many disabled people face. This Act has been significantly extended, including by the Disability Discrimination Act 2005. It now gives disabled people rights in the areas of:

employment
education
access to goods, facilities and services, including larger private clubs and land-based transport services
buying or renting land or property, including making it easier for disabled people to rent property and for tenants to make disability-related adaptations
functions of public bodies, for example issuing of licences

The Act requires public bodies to promote equality of opportunity for disabled people. It also allows the government to set minimum standards so that disabled people can use public transport easily.

At Advanced, all our products are DDA compliant and we are passionate about providing affordable mobility solutions which meet the needs of the less able and disabled members of society - helping them to overcome everyday obstacles at home, outside or at work.
