Disability Discrimination Act
Checklist
Are you being discriminated against?
If you are in any doubt whether you have been discriminated against, the Disability Rights Commission recommend the five-step approach that is useful to use as a checklist:
Step 1: Does the service user meet the Act’s definition of disability?
Step 2: Is the service covered by the Act?
Step 3: Has the user been given less-favourable treatment?
Step 4: Can the service justify the treatment?
Step 5: Resolving the problem.
