Through conciliation, the DCS offers disabled people a uniquely accessible and empowering alternative to court or tribunal action, as a way of exercising their civil rights under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA).

What is Disability Conciliation?
Disability Conciliation is an opportunity for disabled people and service providers to resolve cases under the DDA. It is a "win/win" situation where parties come together in a one-off meeting to find their own solutions.

Is a confidential process
Enables negotiated outcomes between the parties
Leads to real social change

The process usually takes about eight weeks. Discussing the issues and the context within which the dispute has arisen, gives both parties the opportunity to find workable agreeable solutions.
Disability Conciliation has its foundations firmly in the field of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The main objective of ADR is to support people in dispute to achieve a resolution that is decided by and acceptable to both parties. This is of course very different to the "resolutions" decided by a judge within the court setting - where an external judgement is made and, usually, a financial payment ordered. Whilst conciliation does not involve compulsion, it is an assertive process that works in the interests of both parties. It enables people to exercise the same rights as they would in court but through a less rigid and more widely focussed
