Disability Discrimination
The final arm of the Disability Discrimination Act came in on October 2004. It is now necessary to make "reasonable adjustments" to premises to afford access to disabled persons. Failure to do so may leave an operator open to a civil claim by a disabled person who feels that they have been unduly prejudiced. In relation to all of the above areas we are able not only to deal with your case should a prosecution arise but also provide proactive and preventative advice to prevent such prosecutions.
To help and advise you on all regulatory crime issues we have Graeme Cushion, who has been a partner at Poppleston Allen since April 2005. With his background in criminal law, Graeme has particular skill in respect of criminal and regulatory crime ancillary to licensing. Graeme is assisted by Steve Burnett who has a background in criminal law.
So, if you have any queries with regard to health and safety, weights and measure, risk management, disability discrimination, food safety, door security or Police and Trading Standards prosecutions, please contact Graeme Cushion or tel. 0115 953 8503 or 07769 720319.
