Accessibility Network & Knowledge event - Deaf Awareness

Accessibility Network & Knowledge event

Are you part of a volunteer-involving organisation such as a charity or community group?

Would you like to know how to make your organisation more accessible for staff and volunteers? If so, we are here to help!

We are planning a series of free networking and knowledge sessions focussing on accessibility. At this session you can get some tips on Deaf Awareness.

Welcome to our Accessibility Network & Knowledge event where we bring the following speaker,

• Jon Palmer speaking about Deaf Awareness

Afterwards there will be time to network together and share knowledge and information.

How To Get There:

There is free parking at Kent Innovation Centre.

The centre is a short taxi ride from Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Margate railway stations with its frequent high-speed services to the UK’s main railway network, notably London King’s Cross/St Pancras (73 minutes).

Accessibility:

The Kent Innovation Centre was built to give full access to the building with a ramp up to the front door and a lift to all floors.

A Sensor and keypad activated front door has recently been installed which provides automated opening of the main entrance door. Safety sensors are fitted which will prevent the door from closing if an obstruction is detected.

Accessible toilets are located on each floor and door guards are fitted to fire doors, where needed, which will close automatically in the event of a fire.

All disabled clients have personal emergency evacuation plan (PEEP) which is activated in the event of a fire.

We actively encourage our customers with any disability to talk to us about how we can improve our facilities to suit their requirements.
