WHY CHOOSE DCIL?

WHAT SHOULD I DO PRE COURSE?

Consider the view that disabled people are disadvantaged by the way society is organised.

The DDA 1995 and 2005 make it illegal for organisations to discriminate against disabled people either in terms of provision of goods and services, or in employment.

Taking account of the access and legal requirements of disabled people will help your organisation to meet legal requirements whilst taking advantage of the skills and abilities of disabled workers and of the spending power of disabled customers.
