The Disability Discrimination Act was formed in 1976 then updated for the first time in 1995 and during 1998 the act was updated for the last time. The disabilities discrimination act was made for individuals who suffer from a disability this right was made so even they can have the same rights as everyone else. They don’t want any individual with a disability to feel as if though they are not missing out on anything just because they are not able to do such things. The act speaks up for people who are not confident enough to get across all their rights they are entitled to. The Act also still applies. Previously, it made it unlawful to discriminate against people in respect of their disabilities in relation to employment, the provision of goods and services, education and transport. The individuals this act helps are disabled individuals who suffer from illnesses like; down syndrome, dyslexia and mental health problems. It also refers back to individuals who may be involved in an accident and now suffering from a broken leg, arm etc, who are then on wheelchairs this makes them unable to do things others can do. The act also helps individuals from not getting treated any different just because they may not be able to do things others can without disability this act is here to stop discrimination like this. Sometimes there may be no reasonable adjustment, and the outcome is that a disabled person is treated less favorably. For example, if a person was not able to understand the implications of entering into a mortgage or loan agreement, and they did not have anyone authorized to act for them, it would not make sense to require a bank or building society to enter into that agreement. The Act therefore permits employers and service providers to justify less favorable treatment and in some cases failure to make a reasonable adjustment in certain…
