Disability Discrimination Act (DDA): Employment
Legal Masterclass
Location: Manchester
Hosted by: Guardian Media Group
This is information about a past event
Under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), you must ensure that you do not discriminate against a disabled job applicant, employee, customer or service user.
Catherine Casserley, a leading expert on DDA case law and former Senior Legislation Adviser at the Disability Rights Commission, is running these events to clearly explain your organisation's rights and responsibilities, and to update you on the latest tribunal decisions and amendments to the legislation.
We work with small groups of delegates to make it easier for you to discuss the issues relevant to your organisation and to apply your learning to exercises based on actual DDA cases.
Why attend?
This masterclass will enable you to understand the employment provisions of the DDA, including direct discrimination, less favourable treatment, reasonable adjustments and justification.
Who should attend?
HR professionals, occupational health professionals, disability advisers, health and safety specialists, legal practitioners, and those in charge of training and disability or diversity practitioners responsible for promoting change on disability.
