These Regulations implement (in Northern Ireland) the provisions of Council Directive 2000/78/EC (OJ No. L 303, 2.12.2000, p.16), establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (“the Directive”), so far as it relates to disability discrimination but only insofar as the Directive’s obligations impact upon Chapter II of Part III of the Special Educational Needs and Disability (Northern Ireland) Order 2005 (S.I. 2005/1117 (N.I. 6)) (“the 2005 Order”). The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2004 (S.R. 2004/55), which came into operation on 1st October 2004, implemented the Directive’s obligations with respect to Parts II and III of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
