In-Person
Did you know that there are 16 million people in the UK with accessibility requirements? That’s 1 in every 4 of your visitors or guests. Did you also know that this market spends an estimated £14.6 billion on tourism every year and that, without realising it, your business could be missing out?
Join us for this interactive, practical programme to learn how you can not only improve your accessibility, but also your overall business, your customer service, your footfall and your bottom line. What’s more, despite the common misconception that accessibility improvements are expensive, many won’t cost you a penny! Want to know how to sign ‘Welcome’ in Makaton sign language? Or understand how to provide a warm welcome to a Deaf person? How about understanding why a ‘quiet space’ is important for autistic visitors, why replacing your doormat can help someone with dementia or why moving the position of a waste bin can help a wheelchair user? Then this programme is for you!
