Harding Evans Solicitors and Barclays Bank are jointly holding a seminar on the Disability Discrimination Act and its implications for businesses.

The seminar will take place on 26th February at the Celtic Manor Golf Club and starting time will be 6pm for 6.30pm. The speakers are Stephen Jackson, head of employment at Harding Evans and Kalpana Shyamapant, an employment solicitor also at Harding Evans.

The government claim that the cost to businesses for compliance with the new laws under the Disability Discrimination Act will be £1 billion. The most significant effect will be the requirement for businesses to physically alter their buildings and premises to make them accessible for disabled people. But the seminar will show that the Act is much more than about installing ramps.

The seminar is free, but due to large numbers expected, places will be reserved on a first come, first served basis. If you would like to book a place (maximum of 2 places per company) please contact Neil Canning, Marketing Manager at Harding Evans on 01633 244233.
