Notes for Cardholders
We are eager to be an open space that embraces the disabled community in Ilam. We want to advocate for you and get to know you!
Standing and Queuing
There won't be any need to queue in our office, when you come in make we
will greet you and offer you a seat.
Level Access
Our doors are push doors, but we will see you at the door and come
and open it for you if you are by yourself. There is enough room in our
office for you to move around and we will ensure there are no
obstacles blocking your way. Unfortunately we are currently unable to
offer you use of our bathroom for security reasons.
Distances
We are based in a small mall space with a large carpark with
accessible parking so it is not a long walk to our office if you are
driving. There is also a bus stop just outside the mall area on Clyde
Road.
Urgent Toilet Access
Unfortunately due to security reasons we are unable to offer our
bathroom to any member of the public. We recommend heading to
one of the other stores in the mall.
Disability Assist Dogs
We can absolutely cater to assistance dogs. We will offer them a bowl of water.
Essential Companions
Your essential companion is more than welcome.
Difficulty Accessing Visual Information
We will endeavour to take the time to sit down and communicate clearly with
you. For any information that is on paper, a flyer etc we will read it out loud
to you.
Difficulty Accessing Audible Information
If you struggle to access audible information, we are happy to spend the time needed
for you to understand, we will write things down if need be.
Hidden Disabilities
We understand that the icons on the card don’t cover every accessible
barrier and so when we see this icon on a card we will ask how we can
make your time with us a great one.
