The Disability Discrimination Act
(DDA)
Many
people are treated unfairly just because they are
disabled. This makes it hard for them to take part and to
do what they want.
All discrimination is wrong. And some kinds of discrimination
are against the law.
The Disability Discrimination Act is a law to stop people being
treated unfairly. We want to make sure people know about this
law, and do not break the law.
The law says people should be treated fairly. For example you
should be treated fairly when you:
-
Want
to go to school or college
-
Want
a job
-
Buy
something in a shop or restaurant
The Disability Rights
Commission
The
Disability Rights Commission helps people who have a
disability.
1 in every 7 people has a disability.
This includes people with a learning disability.
It also includes people who use wheelchairs and people who are
blind or deaf. People who have illnesses like heart disease
that last a long time are disabled. People who have mental
health problems are disabled.
The Disability Rights Commission
Who we are
The
Disability Rights Commission wants to stop discrimination
against disabled people.
Discrimination is when people treat you unfairly because of
your disability.
We want a world where disabled people can take part and are
treated fairly.
The Disability Rights Commission has 15 Commissioners. They are
the people who decide what we should do. 10 of the
Commissioners are disabled people.
The Disability Rights Commission has set up a Learning
Disability Action Group.
