Welcome to Oxford

Disabilty Information

We are making every effort to ensure that the Disability Discrimination Act is enforced, and people with disabilities have good accessibility around Oxford.

What do I have to do to conform to the Disability Discrimination Act?

As a service provider you may have to:

  • change a practice, policy or procedure which makes it impossible or unreasonably difficult for disabled people to make use of services
  • provide a reasonable alternative of making services available to disabled people where a physical feature makes it impossible, or unreasonably difficult for disabled people to make use of them
  • provide an auxiliary aid or service if it would enable (or make it easier for) disabled people to make use of services

The links towards the bottom of this page provide further information about the following:

  • auxiliary aids and services
  • hearing disabilities
  • learning disabilities
  • limited mobility
  • visual impairments

Where can I find out more about the Disability Discrimination Act?
