Since its introduction in 1996, the Disability Discrimination
Act has proven to be a difficult area for employers and has
resulted in many significant Tribunal decisions and awards.
It is a moving feast, as codes of practice, regulations and
case law extend its boundaries and application. In this session
we re-visit the core concepts at play before examining the
practical impact of these on day-to-day HR issues including
absence and capability dismissals, reasonable adjustments,
sick pay and other benefits. We also consider the impact of
the amendments to the Act introduced in October 2004.
