Inclusive Design Manager, Terry Warren has just finished delivering a series of 2005 DDA1 Part M Update seminars. The countrywide tour began in Wakefield and ended in Taunton, although staff had some frantic last minute organising to do after the hotel booked in Southampton was struck by lightning!
The reaction to the seminars was very positive. Terry says: "The Disability Discrimination Act in relation to the construction industry is a complex area and I think everyone who attended now appreciates that the legislation is ongoing and cannot be ignored. Our clients and their clients need to be able to react quickly to the challenges presented in this constantly evolving area."
At the time of going to press it looks as though a major high street retailer will be the first to be prosecuted under Part III of the DDA for failing to improve access to goods and services for a wheelchair user. Terry says: "This is likely to be a landmark case with potential implications for all UK Service Providers."
