Open for all.
It is essential that premises and services meet and maintain their obligations to the Equality Act.
Forward-thinking retailers are going beyond minimums to designing retail experiences to be truly inclusive of all. With the introduction of quiet shopping times for autistic people or specialist screenings at cinemas for people living with dementia, there is an increasing understanding that some environments can be particularly challenging for many members of society.
Hidden disabilities.
Many disabilities are hidden and may not be immediately obvious, such as learning difficulties, mental health, mobility, speech, visual, or hearing impairments.
Making adjustments to consider cognitive, sensory and physical needs, doesn’t just improve customer experience for disabled customers, but for everyone. Intuitive store design, improved lighting, acoustics, and well-designed changing rooms are just some examples of simple changes that have a big impact.
