Disability Advice
The 1995 Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) is being strengthened in 2004. It will affect UK companies of any size and in any industry (armed forces are exempt). Companies will be
legally obliged to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate both disabled employees and customers.

Many businesses may fear that implementing the DDA will place a burden on them. In reality it can prove to be a lot more straightforward. Camilla will work with both organisations and their employees to find reasonable and practical adjustments to both services and facilities for people with a range of impairments.

Research has shown that the biggest barrier to employing disabled people is the attitude of fellow workers. Legally an organisation can be held responsible for the actions of its employees if they discriminate against a disabled worker, unless it can show it has taken reasonable steps to combat discrimination. Setting up a disability equality training programme for employees is seen as such a step. Camilla will work with organisations to find the most cost effective method
of setting up these programmes for their employees.

As a disabled woman, Camilla has the life experience to be able to offer effective Careers Counselling and Life Coaching to disabled clients. She believes that everyone is capable of achieving their goals and living life to its full potential.
