Access riders are documents that outline someone's access needs (similarly to a rider for a gig!) They're a helpful way to communicate access needs to people you're working with, and mean you don't need to keep repeating the same information. In this session we'll take a look at access riders and how you might go about making one, and we'll also talk about what working with an access rider looks like in practice.
Emily is the Head of Programme at RivelinCo and also works as a freelance access consultant. She has supported lots of organisations across South Yorkshire to put together access statements for venues and events, and has received training from The Centre for Accessible Environments. She lives with chronic illness.
