The Disability Rights Commission has launched a new code of practice to outline the duties providers of goods, facilities and services have to the public to provide access for disabled people.
The new code describes what reasonable adjustments businesses must make to their premises before October 2004 under the Disability Discrimination Act.
Bert Massie, chairperson of the commission, said: "Millions of businesses and services are affected, and many are concerned about the cost of making changes. They need to know that reasonable adjustments are all that is required, which, in most cases, will be low-cost changes."
