Publisher: Blackstone Press
ISBN: 1854314998
Synopsis:
The Disability Discrimination Act of 1995 is the first British statute to address the issue of discrimination against Britain's 6.5 million disabled people. The impact of the Act is likely to be controversial and will have major ramifications for a wide range of public and private sector providers and employers. The Act: makes all UK employers of 20 or more employees and all UK providers of goods and services legally liable for discrimination against disabled people; introduces a novel definition of discrimination, and imposes a new duty on employers and providers to make reasonable adjustments to policies and physical environments; and contains extensive provisions regulating the accessibility of public transport services, such as taxis, trains and buses. Published in assocation with the Royal Association for Disability and Rehabilitation, this text provides a detailed explanation of the Act. The guide is aimed at lawyers working in the field of disability, personnel managers, social workers, trade union officials and anyone advising on equal opportunities and discrimination issues. The book contains a copy of the Act. Caroline Gooding is the author of "Disabling Laws, Enabling Acts: Disability Rights in Britain and America". |

| | Disabled People and European Human Rights: A Review of the Implications of the Human Rights Act 1988 for Disabled Children and Adults in the United Kingdom
Authors: Janet Read, Luke Clements
Price: £17.99
Paperback: 144 pages (February 12, 2003)
Publisher: The Policy Press
ISBN: 1861344252
Synopsis:
Over the past two decades, there has been increasing recognition of the ways in which disabled children and adults have been denied human and civil rights that others take for granted. In the year 2000, the 1998 Human Rights Act came into force in the United Kingdom. This book reviews the implications of the Act for disabled people. The book provides a clear and accessible account of the potential of the Human Rights Act to make a positive difference in relation to issues that have been identified through research, policy development and political debate as significant in the lives of disabled people. The book provides: an overview of key policy and legislative developments in the UK in relation to disabled children and adults in the post war period; an outline of the European Convention on Human Rights, the 1998 Human Rights Act and related procedures; an account of the ways in which disabled people's human rights have increasingly become a matter of concern and the implications of the Human Rights Act in relation to specific issues; a debate about the ways in which public bodies and practitioners within them can engage positively with the provisions of the Human Rights Act to develop better practice. "Disabled people and European human rights " should be of interest to both disabled people themselves and organisations representing their interests, professionals whose work brings them into contact with disabled people, and students of social work, social care, disability studies and law. |

Paperback: 20 pages (July 1996)
Publisher: The Stationery Office Books
ISBN: 0112709559
Synopsis:
This guidance is issued by the Secretary of State, under section three of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. It concerns the definition of disability in the Act. The definition of disability has a number of elements. The guidance covers each of these elements in turn. Each section contains an explanation of the relevant provisions of the Act which supplement the basic definition, and guidance and examples are provided when necessary. Part two of this guidance relates to matters to be taken into account when considering whether an effect is substantial and/or long term. This guidance does not impose any legal obligations itself, nor is it an authoratitative statement of the law. However, under section 3 (3) of the Act it is required that an industrial tribunal or a court, which is determining for any purpose of the Act whether a person's impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities, must take into account any of this guidance which appears to be relevant.. |
