Accessible Information for Outdoor Spaces
Training Events from Sensory Trust
For many people, a lack of information is the greatest barrier to using and
enjoying public space. Appropriate, useful information presented in ways
that are engaging and accessible is one of the most significant and
cost-effective improvements you can make to your site.
The methods and means of providing information have never been so numerous
and so varied. They range from the highly technical and costly, such as the
internet and the mass media, to the most simple and affordable, word of
mouth. This choice means that outdoor spaces and places have more
opportunities to attract and inform visitors than ever before. In turn the
burden placed on site managers and those responsible for providing
information in these places has never been so great. The DDA has added
further weight to this complicated and confusing issue and the requirements
can be daunting to say the least.
So where do you begin? How do you know if your information is accessible? Do
you have to make everything accessible to everyone? How do you brief a
designer when you do not understand inclusive design yourself?
These one day training events look at how information forms a vital part of
the visitor experience on any site. Using tools developed by the Sensory
Trust and the Access Chain, an approach to reviewing the visitor experience,
they combine practical workshops with examples of good practice to assess
the information available in outdoor sites and how it is disseminated.
The sessions will enable site managers to develop a manageable, considered
approach to making their information accessible to a more diverse audience,
at the same time improving the visitor experience for all.
Hands-on experience, creative idea sharing and a positive practical approach
will make these events invaluable for all information developers and site
managers of parks, woodlands, countryside and heritage sites.
