Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)
The DDA aims to stop discrimination against people with disabilities – including profoundly deaf and hard-of-hearing people.
It’s important for all organisations – public and private – to make “reasonable adjustments” to the goods and/or services they provide, so that disabled people are fairly treated.
BSL is specifically mentioned in the legislation as an example of a “reasonable adjustment”. Many deaf people find English text very hard to understand, and prefer sign language communication.
If you want to know how the DDA might affect your business or organisation, please contact us.
