Limitations and possible poor fit
- This combined Resource is a jurisdiction signpost, not legal advice or a statement that the same statute applies across the UK.
- The EHRC route covers England, Scotland and Wales; the Equality Commission route covers Northern Ireland under a separate legal framework.
- Whether a person is legally disabled and whether a particular adjustment is reasonable depend on facts ND Oracle cannot decide.
Cost and access notes
- Free public regulator guidance.
Ownership and conflicts
- The two regulators operate under different legal frameworks; ND Oracle deliberately preserves that split.
