The Equality Act combines the existing discrimination laws in one piece of legislation. The Act states specifically that where information is provided, the steps that it is reasonable for the service provider to take in order to avoid a disabled user being put at a substantial disadvantage include measures to ensure that the information provided is 'in an accessible format'
