Disability Equality Duty (DED)

45,000 public bodies across Great Britain are covered by the Disability Equality Duty (DED) which came into effect on 4th December 2006.
DED is designed to ensure that all public bodies - such as central or local government, colleges and universities, health trusts or emergency services - pay ‘due regard' to the promotion of equality for disabled people in every area of their work.
The Disability Rights Commission has produced a range of guidance and information for public bodies and disabled people on the duty so for fuller information go to the address below:
