Code of Practice on Accessibility of Public Services and Information Provided by Public Bodies

To help public bodies meet the requirements set out in the Disability Act, the National Disability Authority prepared a Code of Practice on Accessibility of Public Services and Information Provided by Public Bodies.

We were requested to create this Code of Practice by the Minister for Justice and equality under section 30 of the Disability Act to guide public bodies to meet requirements under Sections 26, 27 and 28.

By complying with the Code of Practice, public bodies are considered to be in compliance with these sections of the Disability Act. These sections of the Disability Act are intended to ensure services and information provided by public bodies are accessible to all members of the public, including people with disabilities.
