Disabled Access

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 came into full force in 2004, so hopefully, the venue you plan to use for your film screenings will already be physically accessible to everyone, and modifications such as fitting an induction loop system will have been introduced.

It is worth remembering that DVDs have one major advantage over traditional film: many DVDs come supplied with sub-titles for the hearing impaired. These can easily be switched on if required. We recommend that you adopt a policy of using this feature (when available) if a hearing-impaired audience member requests it, and making sure that potential audience members know that sub-titles will be available on request.
