Set rules about when a service/venue can describe itself as accessible

Petition Details

Amend the Equality Act 2010 to prevent a venue or service describing themselves as 'accessible' without describing in what way it is accessible, i.e. what the accessibility features are.

Additional Information

Disabled people regularly face disappointment, lost money and inconvenience when trusting they can access something that is described incorrectly as 'accessible'.

They travel to or book tickets for places so described only to find its not accessible for them.

The problem is 'accessible' means different things to different people depending on their own needs.

Mandating the addition of a list of accessibility features allows disabled people to decide if a venue or service will be accessible to them or not.
