Evaluation

-Promotes equality for all and ensures that disabled people have equal opportunities (including people with sight + hearing difficulties)-Covers both direct and indirect discrimination- makes it illegal-would support the adaptations needed to ensure equality for all, such as Braille, Makaton, lifts, ramps, disabled toilets, wider doors, rails-Reasonable adjustments must be made
