The United Kingdom passed the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) of 1995, which sets out to protect the rights of disabled citizens. The Science Museum evaluated their level of compliance with the DDA by commissioning an Access Audit. The purpose of this project was to create a plan that effectively outlines how the Museum should implement change to improve access. The action plan was created by assessing the Access Audit and the Museum's constraints in upgrading their facility.
