Reasonable adjustments and the Equality Act 2010: what it means for your organisation
The Equality Act 2010 places a positive legal duty on service providers to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people. It isn't a reactive obligation that only kicks in when someone complains. It's anticipatory: you're required to think ahead, identify the barriers your services create for disabled customers, and remove them before anyone asks you to.
For sport, music, entertainment, and live events organisations, that anticipatory duty covers a lot of ground. It applies to your ticketing systems, your pricing structures, your physical venue, your staff training, your companion and carer policies, and your evacuation procedures. The question isn't whether disabled customers will encounter your services — it's whether you've done enough to ensure they can use them on equal terms.
What counts as a ‘reasonable’ adjustment?
That's where organisations often struggle, because “reasonable” isn't defined by a fixed checklist. Courts assess it by reference to the practicality of the change, the cost involved, the size and resources of the organisation, and the extent to which the adjustment would remove the disadvantage. A reasonable adjustment for a Premier League club won't look the same as a reasonable adjustment for a local theatre, but both organisations carry the same legal obligation to make one.
Getting it right requires sector knowledge, caselaw awareness, and an understanding of how disabled people actually experience your services. Generic checklists don't cut it.
What happens when organisations get it wrong?
Claims under the Equality Act can be brought in the County Court. Compensation isn't capped, and reputational damage often outlasts the litigation. The majority of claims we see don't stem from deliberate discrimination: they come from policies that were designed without disabled people in mind, systems that work fine for most customers but create unequal outcomes for some, and staff who haven't had the training to respond appropriately.
The good news is that most of these failures are preventable. Organisations that address them proactively tend to find they improve their customer experience, reduce complaints, and win more tenders in the process.
