Any other consent or approval which is necessary must be obtained from the appropriate authority. 3 )The applicants attention is drawn to their responsibility under The Equality Act 2010 and with particular regard to access arrangements for the disabled. The Equality Act 2010 requires that service providers must think ahead and make reasonable adjustments to address barriers that impede disabled people. These requirements are as follows: Where a provision, criterion or practice puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to take reasonable steps to avoid that disadvantage; Where a physical feature puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to avoid that disadvantage or adopt a reasonable alternative method of providing the service or exercising the function; Where not providing an auxiliary aid puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to provide that auxiliary aid. In doing this, it is a good idea to consider the range of disabilities that your actual or potential service users might have. You should not wait until a disabled person experiences difficulties using a service, as this may make it too late to make the necessary adjustment. For further information on disability access contact: The Centre for Accessible Environments (www.cae.org.uk) Central Bedfordshire Access Group (www.centralbedsaccessgroup.co.uk)The applicants attention is drawn to their responsibility under The Equality Act 2010 and with particular regard to access arrangements for the disabled.
