Compliance & Training

 

 

 
 

Steve and the team at Blindvision work with organisations who want to win a greater share of the disabled market.

We help companies understand that this is includes not only about accessibility and compliance with disability legislation, but about being the brand with which the disabled person feels most welcome.

Blindvision helps staff on a practical level to understand the needs of a disabled person, and how they feel. We then teach staff some simple techniques that will make the disabled customer’s experience far more enjoyable.

The team also works with the client to promote their values to the key disability opinion-formers and audiences.

If you'd like a greater share of the disabled market, please contact us and we’ll happily come to chat with you.
 

 
More Information

 

Our access audits, reports and training will enable you to comply with all relevant aspects of the Disability Discrimination Act, 1995 (DDA). We use our knowledge and understanding to determine and help you solve any compliance or training issues.

 
Compliance
We will assess the accessibility of your brand to the disabled customer. This includes not only physical infrastructure, but also your website. We will also advise you on the relevant law in relation to the current business practice, and give appropriate costs for any recommended compliance measures.
