taxis and registered assistance dogs - Disability Discrimination
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please tell me:
1. what arrangements you make to ensure that taxi drivers licensed
by the council do not refuse to carry a passenger who has a
registered assistance dog (you will I hope be aware that this
extends substantially beyond Guide Dogs).
2. How many instances you are aware of where there have been such
refusals, and the reasons why
3. How many complaints you have had about this and how you have
dealt with them.
4. How your council meets its obligations in this respect under
Disability Discrimination legislation, to ensure that people with a
registered assistance dog are not refused by taxi drivers.
Yours faithfully,
Peter Heaton
