Why
Accessibility is a pre-condition for persons with disabilities to participate in any process. Providing accessibility covers different components. It would mean:
- Having the building or the venue for the consultation that adhere to accessibility standards
- Having public transport systems that persons with disabilities can use to reach the venue
Organisations of persons with disabilities can be engaged to support in checking the accessibility of the venue and to identify service providers for sign language and close captioning.
