What is the Disability Equality Duty (DED)?
The Disability Equality Duty (DED) is the way to promote equality for disabled people and to end institutional discrimination against them. It was created by the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 (DDA) and came into force on 4 December 2006. It is a way for disabled people and public authorities to work together to create a more inclusive society with better services and careers for disabled people. At RNID, we believe that working together is the best way to achieve disability equality.
