Mind - Legal briefing: Disability Discrimination Act

By the 1990s it had become widely recognised that people with disabilities were facing discrimination. However, there was no legislation protecting their rights as there was for race and sex discrimination. Disabled people began a vigorous campaign for anti-discrimination legislation. This briefing looks at the DDA and shows where it applies to mental health.
