This Order continues to introduce ( as of 1/1/07) some components of the 2006 Order which is being phased in during the first half of 2007.
2007
Article 2 brings into operation Article 5 which essentially relates to the duty on public authorities – requiring a public authority to have due regard, in carrying out its functions, to the need to promote positive attitudes towards disabled people, and the need to encourage participation by disabled people in public life. A public authority is defined in the same way as in Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act (1998).
