The pictures used in these pages indicate close collaboration with disabled people. This is used to continually gain experience and to determine solutions which are not covered by the regulations, codes of practice and guide books.

This advice can also be made available directly to you through:

  • Awareness Training Sessions for Managers and Staff
  • User Audits of Services and Premises
  • 'Secret Shopper' service to give practical feedback of a service in use

Where possible, this would be arranged with disabled people in your local area. If this is not possible, there is a range of volunteers available from elsewhere.

If this form of service is of interest, initial research would check the availability of appropriate volunteers, particularly looking at your local area if required, before any arrangements were made.

AWARENESS AND AUDIT TRAINING

AWARENESS TRAINING
Initial disability awareness training sessions can be given to provide background information, break down any barriers with disabled people and to leave staff with a process for recognising potential access improvements.

Sessions typically involve around 20 staff and up to 6 or 7 disabled people. They take 2 to 3 hours. After initial explanations of the background to the Acts and disability factors, the staff spend time in groups of two or three talking to individual disabled people. The session is then rounded off with questions and a sharing of ideas.

AUDIT TRAINING
This is training for disabled people and assistants to carry out a general user audit. These can be particularly useful when assessing facilities for inclusion in leaflets and brochures.
