Employer's obligations

The EEA includes in its definition of employers colleges and universities, which offer courses with a strong vocational emphasis such as medicine or dentistry.

The EEA defines an employer as: ‘… A person offering a course of vocational training. ‘. This includes course providers, such as Institutes of Technology, Colleges and Universities.

Section 16 (3) states that an employer: ‘Shall do all that is reasonable to accommodate the needs of a person who has a disability by providing special treatment or facilities…'

There is a provision that accommodations for students should not give rise to more than a nominal cost for the employer.
