The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) brought in measures to prevent discrimination against disabled people; this legislation applies to all public organisations, including local government.  From December 2006 ,the DDA places a duty on the Council to promote disability equality; namely to eliminate discrimination and promote equality of opportunity.

The Council has produced a Disability Equality Scheme which sets out our commitment to disability equality and an Action Plan that sets out how we are going to achieve it.

For further information on equality within the Council contact the Policy Division, Huntingdonshire District Council, Pathfinder House, St Mary’s Street, Huntingdon, PE29 3TN or telephone (01480) 388032 or click on the link at the top-right to send an email.
