Accessible business events

Choose a venue with a step-free route and an accessible toilet, say exactly how to get in before people come, ask what people need when they book, and give them somewhere quiet to step out to. Most of it is information people can read before they set off.

Before they come

Say how to get there and in: the nearest station, parking and how long, step-free routes, which door. An arrival guide does this once for every event at the venue.

When they book

Ask one open question: is there anything that would help you take part? Ask about food the same way.

In the room

Seats for anyone who wants one, a hearing loop or a microphone for the talk, clear signs and a quiet space.

The law

In Great Britain the Equality Act 2010 asks service providers to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people. This guide is general information, not legal advice.

A quick check of the venue

: it fits on one page.
