Accessibility

Although we have a section dedicated to legislation, regulations and licensing we felt that accessibility warranted a section of its own. 

Not only is it a legal requirement not to treat those who are disabled or impaired, or who are associated with someone who is disabled or impaired less favourably than other customers, but it makes commercial sense to your business.

We’ve included some statistics to help demonstrate why you should treat this more than just a tick box exercise and have also included links to some fantastic resources that Visit Britain have developed with simple and low-cost solutions to help you ensure that your business can be enjoyed by more people.
