Founded
in the 1980's the Charity's purpose is to act on behalf of the disabled
in Variety, and to establish access awareness wherever needed. i.e.
Buildings, Banks, Public Transport, Tourism, Restaurants and issues
such as Drop Kerbs, Parking etc.
ABA
aims to support other Disability Groups in order to achieve parity in the
wider community.
We
wholeheartedly support the 1995 Disability Act
To this aim we designed the 'Six Star
Merit Rating Scheme'. This offers an Audit to advise
'resonable' changes to premises, and a 'Star
Rating' certificate that would in principle be simple
to understand. The higher the rating the better the facilities.
Most
companies were reluctant to spend money in order to make changes. However,
now that the honeymoon period is over, part three of the law can now be
enforced. Everyone in the Goods and Services
Industry will need to make these 'reasonable' changes to
avoid being found guilty of dicrimination against Disabled people.
We
are working closely with Council Authorities
Our
main purpose is to act in ALL parties interests to bring about equal
oportunity for the Disabled as well as Able bodied people. Hopefully
most caring people will feel this way
