The Equality Act has strengthened and extended the way people protected against discrimination are safeguarded.
We can help you make sure your workplace and your services treat people fairly and comply with the law.
Under the Act, you can't wait until a disabled person wants to use your services. You must act now to anticipate what disabled people with a range or impairments might reasonably need.
We'll help you by providing practical advice and potential solutions, focusing on your obligations to your blind or partially-sighted customers and service users.
As well as giving you an understanding of the general issues, we can offer specific advice for a wide variety of sectors.
