Legislation and Regulations
Abstract: The requirements and duties imposed on service providers, employers, education providers and others by the Equality Act 2010 can have a major influence on the design, accessibility and management of the buildings and spaces people use. Planning law and planning policy guidance also covers issues that affect access. Building Regulations set out requirements for building design and construction, including access and fire safety. In addition there is legislation relating to occupiers' liability.
Human rights legislation also influences the need for accessible environments. The Human Rights Act 1998 incorporates into UK law rights and freedoms guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights, and all public bodies, including local government, hospitals, publicly funded schools, courts and others, have to comply with the Convention rights.
This chapter identifies the main legislation and regulations affecting accessibility, disability and inclusion and gives sources of further reading and reference.
