How to Use the Toolkit

If you are planning an event use the checklist to run through the planning stages of the event. Complete the checklist with information to answer the points in the checklist.  Tick off items and sections as you complete them, using the bullet-point boxes.

Use the case studies to gain an appreciation of the challenges and barriers faced by disabled people who want to participate in public events or meetings.  

The Toolkit is structured to enable readers to dip into it as they wish.  Yet, it must be remembered that all access issues are interdependent and cannot be considered in isolation.

Disabled people have a wealth of knowledge and experience in access issues, so consult them at the beginning if you need assistance in organising your meeting – High Peak Access Group: highpeakaccess.org.uk Tel:  01663 735 350

Do check access requirements yourself; do not rely on assumption or telephone conversations.
