[mattJT]

Three of the new amendments to the DDA 1995, amended 2005

Amend the way that the DDA 1995 applies to group insurance to clarify the responsibilities of those concerned with its provisions.

Introduce for Part 3 of the DDA 1995 (i.e. access to goods and services, public authorities, private clubs and premises) a Questions Procedure similar to that, which already exists in Part 2 (i.e. employment and occupation).

Make it unlawful for private clubs with 25 or more members to treat disabled people less favourably


(with DDA 1995 however comes the phrase "reasonably practicable")


Another interesting one is the Social Model of Disability, whereby it's societies barriers that dis-ables the person and not the persons disability (that causes the barriers).
