Placing Disability Law in Context: Recent Developments

Abstract

This article considers the current state of workplace disability law in the United Kingdom. It places it into a contextual framework and does so in part by looking at the 'waves' of disability equality law. It examines in particular changes to the law found in the Equality Act 2010 and the duty on employers to make reasonable adjustments. It concludes with considering the views of the government currently in power.
