DDA is an abbreviation for the Disability Discrimination Act. For buildings that are used to provide a service or employment, the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 gives disabled people important rights of access to everyday services. Everyday services include services provided by local councils, doctors’ surgeries, hotels, banks, pubs, theatres, hairdressers, places of worship, courts, voluntary groups and non-educational services provided by schools. The DDA Act 2005 continues to apply in Northern Ireland but was replaced in 2010 by the Equality Act in England Wales and Scotland.
