Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (Amendment) Regulations 2003

On 1st October 2004, all police forces became subject to the terms of the above legislation. This Act was designed to help end discrimination against disabled people by giving rights in certain areas, one of these being employment. If you have a disability as designated by the terms of this Act, and wish to have some form of reasonable adjustment made to any aspect of the recruitment process - including the administration of the fitness assessment - to ensure you are not unfairly discriminated against, please contact the Recruitment Unit on 01463 720318 for further discussion and advice.

You do not need to disclose the nature of your disability, only what reasonable adjustment you are seeking.
