Access to Informaton
Disability Act Section 28(a)
States that “where a public body communicates with one or more persons, the head of the body will ensure if the communication is an oral one and the person has a hearing impairment that as far that is practicable, the contents of the communication are communicated in a form that is accessible to the person concerned”.
This means the public bodies have a statutory obligation to provide accessible communication to the individual and if they do not they would need to justify why it would be impracticable.
