Notes:
Legislation
Many countries have laws concerning the rights of people with
disabilities and policies which aim to support them.
Equality Act 2010, UK
The Equality Act 2010 aims to protect disabled people and
prevent disability discrimination. It provides legal rights for disabled people
in the areas of:
· employment
· education
· access
to goods, services and facilities including larger private clubs and land
based transport services
· buying
and renting land or property
· functions
of public bodies, for example the issuing of licences
The Equality Act also provides rights for people not to be
directly discriminated against or harassed because they have an association
with a disabled person. This can apply to a carer or parent of a disabled
person. In addition, people must not be directly discriminated against or
harassed because they are wrongly perceived to be disabled.
