The Equality Commission for Northern Ireland recently launched the new Code of Practice on the Provision and Use of Transport Vehicles, which came into force on 25 May 2011.
The Code provides guidance on the rights and responsibilities which exist as a result of the Disability Discrimination (Transport Vehicles) Regulations (NI) 2009. The Code is available in Braille, audio, large print and Easyread versions. It can also be downloaded from www.equalityni.org.
The Equality Commission is planning a range of activities to promote awareness of the Code and the legislation it seeks to explain. Please see the website or contact The Equality Commission for more information:
