Under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA), as amended by the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 (SENDA), Parts III and IV provide that service providers (Part III) and educational institutions (Part IV) (1) should not discriminate in the services, or student services, that they provide. In providing a digitised service, accessibility problems for disabled students will clearly exist and it is the purpose of this briefing paper to set out whether or not any obligations exist in relation to such a service under the DDA and on which parties these obligations will fall.
