Paul Flynn – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Paul Flynn on 2016-03-01.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what guidance his Department has issued to local authorities on ensuring disabled children are given equal access to children’s playgrounds.

Mr Marcus Jones

DCLG has not issued any guidance on this. Individual local authorities are responsible for meeting the requirements placed on them by the Disabilty Discrimination Acts 1995 and 2005 and the Equality Act 2010 in how they provide services.
