What is the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)?

Last updated 21 Nov 2010, review date due 01 Jun 2011

The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) is a law in Northern Ireland first passed in 1995. The aim of the law is to reduce discrimination against disabled people. It means that disabled people should not be treated less well than non-disabled people.

These pages are about the Disability Discrimination Act in Northern Ireland. If you are looking for information about disability discrimination in England, Scotland and Wales, please see The Equality Act.
