An invitation to review awareness of disability discrimination under the Equality Act.
The Introduction to the Disability Discrimination Awareness Questionnaire includes background details of development, full disclaimer, copyright, permissions, authors/other contributors and acknowledgements. To put this in context you are encouraged to read the document Disability Discrimination Context and Concerns. These are available on the DDAQ and Context tabs of the website:
www.equitynotjustequality.co.ukNB: The authors have no legal expertise and the DDAQ does not constitute legal advice - see full disclaimer in the Introduction to the DDAQ. In the event of queries please contact Andy Tyerman: a.d.tyerman@gmail.com
Whilst
submitted responses are stored anonymously, you will initially be asked for an
email address. This is solely so that a copy can be sent to you for information and as a record of CPD for professional registration. You
have two options depending on whether you wish to provide an email to receive a copy of the submission.
If you are
happy to provide your email address at the start and click ‘submit’ at the end
of the form you will receive a copy of your submission including a note of your
score. These emails will be deleted on a
regular basis and not retained in order to preserve anonymity.
However:
If you do
not wish to provide an email address you can continue to complete the exercise
by entering a fictitious email (e.g. notmyemail@gmail.com) (FYI: Google Forms requires an entry to the email question
in order to enable the automatic copy facility). Whilst you will not then receive a copy of
the submission or your score, you can still print your response by going
back to the beginning and printing each page separately.
FYI Google Forms automatically saves your progress for 30 days when you're signed in to your Google account so you can work across devices or take a break without starting over the next time you open the form.
I hope you find the DDAQ to be informative and helpful. If you are in training, you are likely still developing your awareness of disability rights and discrimination. If so, completing the DDAQ will guide you on the competences needed on completing training (e.g. in order to meet HCPC or other professional standards).
