Accessibility Statement
Part A
Bristol LGB Forum seeks to be accessible to all LGB people. In doing so it ensures:
- our office(s) is physically accessible;
- all our meetings - management committee, AGM and open meetings - are held in fully accessible venues and hearing loops, PA’s, BSL interpreters and help with travel/childminding is provided for meetings, as required;
- where required, all meetings with other agencies and/or professionals also take place at an accessible venue;
- with notice, all information can be provided in the cheapest accessible format for you;
- accessibility features are built in to our website.
Part B
Accessibility is also about culture and we are actively working to ensure that we are welcoming to all. Part of this includes regularly identifying the priorities, needs and barriers to participation of all lesbian, and gay and bisexual communities – especially those currently under-represented within our service provision and membership.
This information will then be used to develop the information/ support and services that meet the identified needs. This is a long-term commitment and will be dependent upon time, resources and capacity.
Our current priorities include working with LGB people from BME and Faith communities and addressing discrimination experienced by current and potential members who are Disabled people or over 65yrs old living in residential and sheltered housing.
