What do the DDA requirements mean to your organisation?
Policy
A policy sets out your promises or aims about equality for disabled customers and staff. The Policy underpins your action plan so that improvements are made step-by-step. It may include an Access Statement for your facilities and buildings. The Policy can cover one region, department, function, or your whole organisation.
Disability Equality Service Charters are available for arts organisations and smaller businesses.
Practice
How will you ensure your organisation is working towards meeting the requirements of legislation, including the Disability Discrimination Act (1995), in every area? A Disability Equality Strategy sets out the steps you will take and an Action Plan for each department drills it down to responsibilities and timescales. An Impact Needs Assessment will help you discover which functions of your business are covered by the DDA, which practices you need to improve.
Procedure
This is how each member of staff will achieve their actions, everyday and ensures that resources or methods are robust enough to ensure that actions happen consistently throughout an organisation.
