RNID: For deaf and hard of hearing people.

The DDA says there are two types of discrimination.

The first is where:

  • A disabled person is treated less favourably than someone else. 
  • The treatment is for a reason relating to the person’s disability. 
  • The treatment cannot be justified.

The second is where:

  • A disabled person needs a reasonable adjustment. This applies to employment as well as the supply of goods, services, facilities or education AND
  • No adjustment is made AND
  • The service or education provider cannot justify not making the adjustment.
