Disability Discrimination Act

By October 2004 the final stage of the goods, facilities and services provisions of Part Three of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) came into force. The provisions in the Act that apply to web sites have been in force since October 1999. The DDA of 1995 does not cover education, which meant that universities did not have to ensure that their educational services were accessible to disabled learners as a condition of their grant. This was remedied with the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act (SENDA) of 2001.
