| Annotation | The intention of the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 (DDA) is to protect disabled people, including those with a long-term health condition, against discrimination and unfair treatment, and to ensure full and equal participation in learning and public life. This guidance covers all aspects of the DDA relevant to colleges, universities and adult education providers in England, Scotland and Wales. It covers an institution's duties as an employer of disabled people, as a provider of services to the public, and as a provider of educational services to students. It also covers an institution's responsibility to promote disability equality across the whole range of its functions, and to produce a Disability Equality Scheme, including good practice information.
