who was abused and tortured and then horrifically killed by her own great Aunty and a man they both lived with.

Disability Discrimination Act 2005/Equality Act 2010
As a registered childminder it is important that I understand about the DDA,
The DDA has a new approach because it requires public bodies to change and to show how they are working to eliminate unlawful disability discrimination and also disability related bullying.
Disabled children, young people and also adults have rights of access to various services through DDA; it has become law over the time from 1995 with each bit of the DDA making the act a little stronger. The DDA applies to the whole of the uk.
The DDA is so important because it was the first piece of legislation to make some forms of discrimination against disabled children and adults unlawfully.
DDA 2005 Act The DDA 2005 Act requires public bodies to change and to show how they work to eliminate unlawful disability discrimination and bullying relating to someone’s disability. All public bodies must have a written Disability Equality Scheme showing how they promote disability
equality.
Equality Act 2010
The Equality Act 2010 came into force from October 2010 and it replaced DDA and other previous equality legislation putting them into just one Act.
All parents who has a disabled child should know what the DDA say and do to ensure their child is not discriminated against, either at school or when accessing a service.
The law can be complicated and some schools and service providers are able to take other factors into consideration, such as the cost of any adjustments to be made and any resources available, also any affects that including a disabled child might have on other children at the school or using a service.
The Children’s Act 1989/2004
The Children’s Act 1989 was to make sure all children was looked after and their welfare come first, also to work alongside with parents to make sure no harm comes to that child the act is to ensure all children has equal rights to speak and to be informed off any actions to be made .the Act is so powerful that it has an impact on other legislation. Nothing can be discussed in childcare without referring to the Act.
Children’s act 2004 was put in place to improve children’s lives. There have been a few little changes to children’s act 2004 which states that from 2006 social care services for children and education has been brought together, under a director of children’s services.
