uin	903994
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2023 answer text <p>The Equality Act 2010 places a duty on businesses and service providers to make reasonable adjustments to improve disabled people’s access to goods and services, so they are not placed at a substantial disadvantage compared to non-disabled people. This reasonable adjustment duty is an anticipatory duty, meaning that those who provide goods, facilities and services to members of the public are expected to anticipate the reasonable adjustments that disabled customers may require, including auxiliary aids. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has produced guidance for service providers on reasonable adjustments and its Statutory Codes of Practice provide more detailed information on the legal responsibilities of service providers and employers to make such adjustments.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 08/03/2023 12:56:06 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

uin	903996
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2023 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to commence Section 1 of the Equality Act 2010 in England. As merely a “due regard” duty, it requires no specific action from the public body concerned, and risks becoming a tick-box exercise, complied with to minimise the risk of litigation rather than to promote real change in society. The duty is also wrongly focussed on equalising socio-economic outcomes rather than opportunities. The Government’s preferred approach is to progress specific policies and practical actions that will deliver real change.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 08/03/2023 12:53:13 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
