Disability rights

Equality campaigners successfully secured a court injunction forcing a private entertainment company to provide a sign language interpreter at a live music event. The court found the company guilty of unlawful discrimination under the equality act. Shortly after the ruling, Wembley Stadium announced that they will offer British Sign Language interpretation as a guaranteed service at every live concert – making them the UK’s biggest venue to offer this. This campaign won in May 2022 the SMK Best Use of Law Award sponsored by the Law for Change fund.
