Making events and meetings accessible

Published: March 2012
Last reviewed: August 2019

This web resource is for anyone who is organising an event and wants to make it accessible.

It is a practical handbook to make any event – whatever the size, whoever the participants – inclusive, so that everyone can take part in the way that best suits them.

Access is the same for non-disabled people as disabled people. You wouldn’t hold a meeting on the 10th floor with no lifts, or where there was nowhere to sit, or in pitch blackness or even where all documents were given out in Braille.
