“Thank you so much for organising the training, I thought it was really good and very useful. I especially found the walk around the site to look at accessibility barriers very interesting as I think we often don't even notice the issues when it doesn't affect us. I think lots of our staff, especially people working in visitor facing roles could really benefit from gaining confidence when approaching topics such as disability.”
