text: describe disability discrimination act 1995? i really need some information on this in your own words please, i cannot have information copied by the internet.  thanxs the act makes it unlawful to discriminate against people with diabilities, this used to include all those who could not carry out one or several specified everyday functions but the act was updated this year to include those who have terminal diseases which do not as yet have symptoms, eg those with cancer and hiv but show no symptoms. the act imposes a duty to make reasonable adjustments so you must ensure that your premises are accessible and that if you can modify working practices to allow a disabled person to do the job you make the modification.   hope this helps
