The ‘Open to All: Accessibility Audit’ programme supports museums to develop effective Access Plans.
Museum Development Midlands (MDM) is delighted to be offering opportunities for eight museums to receive accessibility audits and training to improve access for visitors. MDM have commissioned Direct Access to deliver this programme.
The Open to All: Accessibility Audit programme aims to support museums to develop effective Access Plans through a site visit, accessibility audit report and training.
