In line with current government agendas of social inclusion and access for all, access to HER services should be available for all'. 'Access' within this context has a broad definition encompassing access to information, facilities/services and buildings'. Failure to take reasonable steps to address such issues could carry legal implications'. Access and quality of service provided by the HER must not be dependent on a person's gender (including caring responsibilities), race, age or disability'. Relevant legislation ensuring equal access to HER services includes the [''Sex Discrimination Act'' (''SDA'') 1975|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1975/65], the [''Race Relations Amendment Act'' (''RR(A)A'') 2000|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/34] and the [''Disability Discrimination Act'' (''DDA'') 1995'|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1995/50]. It is not enough for an organisation to have a statement that it is committed to eradicating discrimination'. It should be supported by a clear and explicit implementation plan.

The final part of the [Disability Discrimination Act 1995, Part III|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1995/50/part/III], implemented on October 1st 2004 concerns access to goods and services ([HMSO 1995|http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1995/50])'.
