There are three Acts of Parliament which introduce and provide a means of enforcing rights preventing discrimination against disabled people:- The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA), The Disability Rights Commission (DRC) Act 1999 and the Equality and Human Rights Commission Act 2010, which has largely replaced the earlier legislation. However, the Disability Equality Duty in the DDA continues to apply.
