It also occurs to me there may be fire safety provisions which prevent some #disabled people being able to be in the basement unless there is an exit at basement level?
@MidForward I actually don't know. But this from their website "The venue is in the basement, down a flight of stairs or in a wheelchair lift"...
These must-see things - are they #accessible to #disabled people ?
@MidForward I actually don't know. But this from their website "The venue is in the basement, down a flight of stairs or in a wheelchair lift"...
Will @theskinnymag provide information on the #accessibility of events/venues/shows to #disabled people ?
Pick up a copy of @theskinnymag and our programme to see what exciting things are happening at this year's Edinburgh Art Festival🤩
Do you provide central, easily accessed information on the web site about how #accessible screenings/venues are for #disabled people ?
#EIFF presents an ambitious and free programme of family faves, timeless classics and blockbusters, in partnership with @EssentialEdin, as the Festival returns to the iconic St Andrew Square with #FilmFestInTheCity 🏙️ ⫸ Fri 12 - Sun 14 Aug More // bit.ly/EIFF-FFITC
Good question. I'm sure I read some recent research that the gap between the number of #disabled people owning a smart phone and the number of non-disabled people is quite significant. Built-in discrimination when #access is only via phone apps.
What percentage of disabled people own a smart phone and are able to access tickets via them ? What percentage of app’s are inclusive and accessible to pan-disabled people with protected characteristics @Transport4North ?
Is the venue #accessible to #disabled people ?
- The weather forecast is perfect. - The Campsite opens at 12 noon and the festival at 4pm. - Our bars take both cash and card. - There are still tickets left at dounetherabbithole.co.uk/tickets - Finally, We hope you have a happy, fun-filled and safe weekend (Pic taken last night)
Not sure you understand #accessibility. Stairs to gain access renders the show inaccessible for many #disabled people. Does the venue at the top of the 16 stairs have a loop system for #deaf people ? Are there #accessible toilets ?
@MidForward Hello! The show itself is fully #accessible, but our venue is unfortunately accessed by 16 stairs up.
Hi there. Can I suggest you put #accessibility for #disabled people front and centre of the @edbookfest ? Rather than have to work out which bits are #accessible, could there be a dedicated section on #access and map levels of #accessibility ?
@MidForward Hello there! We aim to be as accessible as possible; you can find all accessibility information at edbookfest.co.uk/visiting-the-f…. If you need help with any specific needs or have additional questions, please email our Access Officer at [email protected].
Thanks. Appreciated. It would be good to have a central point at which accessibility could be checked.
@MidForward I actually don't know. But this from their website "The venue is in the basement, down a flight of stairs or in a wheelchair lift"...
How many #disabled people were involved in this ?
The Single Midlothian Plan 2022/23 is now live on the Community Planning webpage 🥳 Thanks to all partners, community groups, public services, councillors and business groups involved. Find it here👉midlothian.gov.uk/download/downl…
It was such a pinch me moment to be asked to shoot for @drmartens SS22 campaign… But it was an even bigger pinch me moment, to see myself and my mobility aid in a shop window. Thank you for being a driving force for inclusion @drmartens @ZebedeeMan 🤍
Where do #disabled people easily find out if acts/shows/venues are #accessible to #disabled people?
This might be the most dedicated level of #edfringe planning we've ever seen - massive respect, @MaggyPigott! *waits nervously to see if anyone can top it*
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good rule of thumb for those at low risk from Covid…if you share a space with someone wearing a mask, put one on too. They may have cancer, a child at home with leukaemia, or they may look after their vulnerable parents. The world needs more acts of kindness, not less.
Hi there. Is the show/venue fully #accessible to #disabled people ?
