The DRC is calling for service providers to start making plans for disabled access now, before the requirements of the Code of Practice on the Rights of Access for Disabled People become law in 2004 under the Disability Discrimination Act. The Code calls for ''reasonable adjustments'' to be made to businesses and services of all sizes throughout the UK that have not yet complied with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Three new publications have been produced by the DRC to help disabled people, small businesses and other services providers understand the Code of Practice, ''A Practical Guide for Small Businesses'', ''2004 - What it means for Disabled People '' and ''2004 - What it means for Service Providers''. Free copies are available.
