As part of Deaf Awareness Week (4th – 9th May), the Visit Buckinghamshire: Boost programme is launching ‘Boost Accessibility’, a package of training and support for local businesses looking to improve their accessibility and open their doors to more potential customers.
In partnership with the Buckinghamshire Disability Service (BuDS), they want to reflect the status of Buckinghamshire as the Birthplace of the Paralympics.
Lucy Dowson, Tourism Development Manager at Visit Buckinghamshire, said:
“The aim of our accessibility programme is to help businesses in our sector to improve their accessibility with 1-1 support and advice from a business access adviser. In addition, they will be able to keep up to date with our online library of resources, hints, and tips sharing best practices, and access free training for their teams to help make customers with access needs feel welcome and comfortable when visiting their business.”
Businesses can access a range of support, consisting of 1-2-1 advice from a team of experienced advisers, digital training programmes, carbon and accessibility audits, action planning, in-depth workshops, and inspirational events. In addition, £250 vouchers will also be available to support the implementation of new initiatives and training.
