Disability in the United Kingdom
Disability is an issue that directly affects a significant proportion of the population of the United Kingdom. Section6(1) of the Equality Act 2010 defines disability as:
A person has a disability for the purposes of the Act if he or she has a physical or mental impairment and the impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities〔http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/sites/default/files/publication_pdf/odi_definition%20of%20disability%20equality_act_guidance_may.pdf〕
== Legislation and government policy ==
Under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) (1995, extended in 2005), it is unlawful for organisations to discriminate (treat a disabled person less favourably, for reasons related to the person's disability, without justification) in employment; access to goods, facilities, services; managing, buying or renting land or property; education. Businesses must make "reasonable adjustments" to their policies or practices, or physical aspects of their premises, to avoid indirect discrimination.〔http://www.drc-gb.org/the_law/legislation__codes__regulation/dda_and_related_statutes.aspx 〕
Since 2010 the Disability Discrimination Act has been replaced with the Equality Act 2010. This act still protects disabled people against discrimination but also encompasses a number of other characteristics including age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage, pregnancy, race, religion, sex and sexual orientation.
Policies and legislation in Northern Ireland differs significanny from the rest of the UK.
