ONE YEAR SINCE NEW DISABILITY LAWS BUT ATTITUDES STILL NEED TO.
(From Government News Network (Was Hermes-Government Press Releases))
] DEPARTMENT FOR WORK AND PENSIONS DRC-7 30 September 2005 ONE YEAR SINCE NEW DISABILITY LAWS BUT ATTITUDES STILL NEED TO CHANGE
As recent rights for disabled people reach their first anniversary today, more on the horizon will provide a comprehensive package of civil rights for disabled people.
Marking the anniversary, Anne McGuire, Minister for Disabled People, spoke about the real changes which have taken place both in the high street and in the workplace but she stressed much more needed to be done. Anne McGuire said:
"Last October was a real landmark in the history of disability rights as the Government legislated to extend protection against discrimination in employment, and introduced new duties for service providers to tackle the physical barriers millions of disabled people face every day.
"Today - one year on - we can see the progress across the country. With a bit of common sense, businesses are improving their own accessibility and gaining financially by tapping into the GBP80 billion annual spending power of disabled people."
Anne McGuire continued:
