Does the DDA relate to the accessibility of websites?
Yes, websites that offer goods and services to the public must comply with the Disability Discrimination Act. The relevant parts of the DDA have been in force since October 1999. The related Code of Practice was published by the DRC in May 2002. The Code of Practice specifically mentions websites, e.g., “An airline company provides a flight reservation and booking service to the public on its website. This is a provision of a service and is subject to the act.” Page 13, point 2.17.
