Provision of a Campaign of Accessibility to all in Galway City.

Tender description

Galway City Council would like to highlight in partnership with ‘Access for All’, to businesses and members of the public the daily challenges faced by people with disabilities and other users of the city such as the elderly, parents and many more. Established in the 1990's, Access for All Galway is a partnership of disability organisations and individuals working towards Universal Access for everyone in Galway City. As much as 13.5% of the population of Ireland have a disability. In this campaign we would like to highlight to the general public the need for consideration for other users of the city. For example: • Not to park in parking spaces designated for people with disabilities • Not to block footpaths with illegal parking • Recognise that not all disabilities are visible and that some people may have difficulty seeing signage and judging distances • Allow time and space to people with disabilities in queues for public transport • Be considerate of the fact that guide dogs are not trained to socially distance • Verbal communication is essential and can avoid miscommunication and confusion In this campaign we would also like to highlight to local businesses to need for consideration.
