What must a small business do to comply with disability discrimination law?
Small businesses have to make ‘reasonable adjustments’, either to physical barriers preventing people with disabilities being employed, or by providing reasonable alternatives to enable them to carry out a job. The law does not specify exactly what ‘adjustments’ a small business should make, and they will depend on individual circumstances. So, for example, a small firm with a limited budget for changes would not be expected to make physical alterations on a scale affordable to a larger company. There is no legal requirement to make changes which are impractical or beyond the means of a business.
