This important one day course will provide delegates with a thorough understanding of the legal and practical protection provided to disabled job applicants and existing employees.

The Equality Act will replace the DDA and the revised Codes of Practice, with the new changes affecting both current and past employees.

Potentially significant changes could include:

* The extension of the prohibition against indirect discrimination to disabled job applicants and employees;
* The extension of the duty to make reasonable adjustments to specifically include the provision of auxiliary aids; and
* The creation of an entirely new form of protection, namely the prohibition against discrimination arising from disability (which will be of particular relevance to the management of disability-related sickness absence).
