| Training
Successful and effective training can assist your staff to overcome the
misconceptions
and preconceptions that lead to the often
unintentional attitudinal
discrimination, that which may deter
potential customers.
The Family Resources Survey found that there are almost ten
million disabled people in the UK with a combined
spending power
in the region of eighty billion pounds per
annum. Furthermore
there are millions of other individuals
that are affected by sensory,
physical and/or cognitive
impairments, including those resulting
from the ageing
process.
If disabled people face barriers in accessing your services
they
may go elsewhere and you could miss out on some of their
spending power!!!!
Disabled people feel that attitudinal barriers are the most
prevalent barrier they face, and can deter them using a
service
provider even if the physical access meets their needs. It needs
more than a ramp to provide an accessible
service, are your staff
fully aware of the needs of your
current and potential clients.
