Welcome to our online access information guide. Our aim is to assist disabled people, carers and their families to find services and venues that are accessible for their requirements.

This web site also aims to help businesses identify barriers that stop disabled people using their services.

10 million people in the UK are estimated to suffer from some form of disability – ranging from dyslexia, cognitive and learning difficulties, through to severe impairments such as blindness. Many people would assume the Internet to be out of reach of these users; in fact, with the aid of assistive technologies the World Wide Web has given many disabled people greater autonomy than ever before – as long as the web sites they use are accessible.

Accessibility guidelines on this web site have been an integral part of our development and design process from the outset. We have added new software to enable a wider choice of online accessibility and will continue to take all steps to make sure this web site remains as accessible as possible.
