Hi, I could do with updating my old DDA access audit, can anyone point me in the right direction. Best Regards Darren

DDA has gone and been replaced by the Equality Act 2010. I recently did a similar exercise by updating my accessibility checklist to include the Protected Characteristics. An audit now must include not only access but questions regarding employment of people on that list. I got lots of info by googling Equality Act. ACAS has some good stuff and so has the DWP.

Green40245 As the Equality 2010 Act is the outcome of over a century of social change, you can reliably predict it's here to say. So, the 'right direction' involves grasping the risks to occupational safety and health associated with each of the nine 'protected characteristics', of which (as others emphasise) disability is only one. Since The Equality Act 2010 came onstream, the CIPD local branches frequently have very informatiive evening meetings on the subject of compliance, addressed by Partners of legal practics specialsing in this area of law. If you have a professional or friendly relationship with a Member of Fellow of the CIPD, ask him or her to bring you to a meeting; should you live near south London, you can get in touch with me and I'll check out the next one you might visit in that area of in Kent, Surrey or Sussex. IN 2010 Jordans published a first-class guide to the Act written by barristers B Doyle and C Casserly and a couple of judges who are authorities in this area of law. A reliable guide.
