About this event

Are you ready? As a visitor economy business, do you feel ready to provide the information, facilities and services that will help you to maximise your share of this lucrative, growing market and play your part in its growth? If not, then this training programme is for you!

The Marketing Peak District and Derbyshire Accessibility Champion programme, delivered by Access For all UK, aims to create an ‘in-house’ accessibility resource for your organisation who will be able to do just that.

This ground-breaking programme, delivered over a series of 5 webinars provides an insight into the barriers faced by visitors with additional access needs and provides practical tips as to how these may be overcome.

By the end of the programme delegates will be able to:

  • Understand the barriers faced by disabled people and how to help overcome them
  • Carry out a simple accessibility audit of your site
  • Produce a Sensory Story for your venue
  • Design an effective Touch Tour
  • Create an on-line accessibility guide for your venue
  • Market the accessibility of your venue locally and nationally
  • Have increased your confidence in creating a warm welcome for all!

There will be ‘take-aways’ including ‘best practice’ guidance at the end of each session and the opportunity to put learning into practice in between each workshop.

Having successfully completed the 5 webinars delegates will receive their Accessibility Champion certificate as well as a certificate to display within their business and a website ‘badge’. Candidates will also become members of the National Network of Accessibility Champions: an ongoing learning and support network across Access For All UK Accessibility Champions across the U.K.
