The Disability Discrimination (Service Providers and Public Authorities Carrying Out Functions) Regulations 2005

These Regulations revoke and replace (in part) the Disability Discrimination (Services and Premises) Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/1836), (in full) the Disability Discrimination (Services and Premises) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/1191), (in full) the Disability Discrimination (Providers of Services) (Adjustment of Premises) (Amendment) Regulations 2004 (S.I. 2004/1429) and (in full) the Disability Discrimination (Providers of Services) (Adjustment of Premises) (Amendment) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1121). In addition, they amend the application of the Disability Discrimination (Providers of Services) (Adjustment of Premises) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/3253) and revoke and replace Regulation 3 of and the Schedule to those Regulations. These changes partially consolidate provisions in relation to providers of services. In addition, these Regulations make provision in relation to public authorities, which arises out of new duties on public authorities carrying out their functions, introduced into the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (“the 1995 Act”) by the Disability Discrimination Act 2005.
