Every business should have access to a portable ramp or some form of disability access


Every business should have access to a portable ramp or some form of disability access
The Issue
Recently been in a situation of having someone in a wheelchair, and discovered the ammount of barriers in the way which prevents a person with physical needs to access some shops, restaurants even theme parks. Everyone should have access to the same opportunities, for we are meant to be a nation which embraces inclusitivity!
'The 2010 Act contains a duty for shops and businesses to make reasonable adjustments (that is, “take reasonable steps”) to prevent disabled people from being put at a “substantial disadvantage” compared with non-disabled people.....Physical features. For example, a restaurant might provide step-free access or widen its toilet stalls for people who use a wheelchair.' CITED FROM A GOVERMENT WEBSITE (GOV,2024)
