Very important point thanks. Dr Dea Birkett Ringmaster From: "List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK." <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Ashleigh Hibbins <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: Ashleigh Hibbins <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wednesday, 12 September 2018 11:52 To: <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: concessions for disabled visitors and/or their carers Hi Trizia and GEM, Regarding terminology, I recently went to an arts and access training session (from the fantastic organisation Attitude is Everything - http://www.attitudeiseverything.org.uk/), and the trainer emphasised that Personal Assistant¹ is preferable and more inclusive than carer¹. Many disabled people don¹t need to be cared for in the traditional sense, they just might require assistance with certain tasks. Personal Assistant covers all bases, including people with actual carers. Hope this helps and best of luck with your review, Ashleigh Ashleigh Hibbins Learning & Participation Consultant020 7367 [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> www.theaudienceagency.org <http://www.theaudienceagency.org/> @audienceagents <https://twitter.com/audienceagents> Postal address: The Audience Agency, 2nd Floor, 35 47 Bethnal Green Road, London, E1 6LA From: List for discussion of issues in museum education in the UK. <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Trizia Wells Sent: 12 September 2018 11:42 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: concessions for disabled visitors and/or their carers Hi Gemmers We¹re reviewing our concessionary rates and I¹m interested to know how other museums and heritage centres manage this aspect. I¹d appreciate responses on the questions below, or any other thoughts you have around the subject. Do you have concessionary rates for both disabled visitors and their carers? If a visitor has more than one carer, do both receive the discount? Do you offer free entry or a discounted rate? What terminology do you use for the carer? (We use essential carer, but this sometimes causes confusion) Thanks very much!
