What activities are covered by the Regulations?
Anyone (whether an individual or an organisation) who provides goods, services, facilities or premises, or any school or public authority, will be covered by the Regulations. The idea of goods, services and facilities is extremely broad and applies even if you provide those things for free[1]. The Regulations give the following examples of the sort of things covered: (a) access to and use of a place which the public are permitted to enter, (b) accommodation in a hotel, boarding house or similar establishment, (c) facilities by way of banking or insurance or for grants, loans, credit or finance, (d) facilities for entertainment, recreation or refreshment, (e) facilities for transport or travel, and (f) the services of a profession or trade[2] This list illustrates the incredible breadth of the coverage of the SORs.
