The part of the Act requiring service providers to make adjustments where physical features hinder access to their services for disabled people comes into force on 1 October 2004. It is unclear exactly how these provisions of the Act will be implemented in practice. Now the government and the Disability Rights Commission have launched a consultation process on this part of the Act.

Comments are being sought on four documents:

1. the DRC's proposals for a new Code of Practice

2. the Government's proposals for supporting Regulations

3. a practical guide prodcued by the Disability Rights Commission for smaller service providers on making premises accessible

4. the Government's Regulatory Impact Assessment

These documents can be found at www.disability.gov.uk/consultation.html.

Any comments are required by 8th August 2000.
