5. + How will you improve the life quality of the disabled?

6. + Disabled’s Welfare + Disability Law – UK: DDA – Taiwan:Physically and Mentally Disabled Citizens Protection Act + Disability Foundation – Liu educational consulting( 財團法人劉氏社會福利事 業基金會 ) – Republic of China Association For Mentally Handicapped Person( 中華民國啟智協會 ) – The League of Welfare Organization for Disabled R.O.C.( 中華民國殘障聯盟 )

7. + It was legislated to make ”discriminating against disabled persons in connection with employment, (…)” to be unlawful. + Service providers have had to make 'reasonable adjustments' for disabled people, such as providing extra help or making changes to the way they provide their services. + Consolidated into the Equality Act (2010). PASSIVE ->ACTIVE

8. + less favorable treatment for a reason related to a disabled person's disability + failure to make a "reasonable adjustment"

9. + For adjustment: The Disability Rights Commission's Codes of Practice: – whether the proposed adjustment would meet the needs of the disabled person – whether the adjustment is affordable – whether the adjustment would have a serious effect on other people + The Act therefore permits employers and service providers to justify less favorable treatment in some circumstances.

10. + Exemption of small firms(15 employees under) + ‘reasonable adjustment’ clause that enables employers to justify some non-adherence + monitoring of compliance by employers + Narrow definition of disability + Puts burden of proof upon the disabled – Prove they are disabled under the terms of act – Discriminated against on this basis

12. + Probably DDA needs a longer time to make a detectable effect. + There are other factors which effect employ rates, such as recession. + There are no other information about the experience of DDA, so it is hard to any definite conclusions.

13. + The employment gap isn’t closed after the onset of DDA. On contrary, it increased. – DDA is a disguised form of suppressing the disabled. + The disadvantages of DDA shouldn’t be neglected, and addition to the act is needed.

14. + Origin: – Disabled Welfare Law for amendments to the Action Committee( 殘障福利法修正行動委員會 ) – ( 全國性民間團體聯盟組織 ) – The League of Welfare Organization for Disabled R.O.C.( 中華民國殘障聯盟 )
