Access.

Difficulty getting around the island and into local buildings are basic examples of the barriers that persons with disabilities face in Guernsey. These are probably the first things that most people think of  when the subject of accessibility comes up – but it is about so much more.

The Guernsey Disability Alliance campaigns to improve equality of opportunity, social inclusion and respect for the dignity and rights  of persons with disabilities.  We work closely with the States of Guernsey representing the voices of our members and member groups and assisting in implementation of Guernsey’s Disability and Inclusion Strategy and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities,. We also partner with many other third sector and public bodies.

For Access issues, please contact the States Disability Officer or Access for All, please visit the Access for All group.

Our Access for All team (part of our partnership work with We All Matter, Eh?) work in partnership with the community to improve accessibility in its widest context, for islanders and visitors alike. Access covers a number of areas including:

  • Physical Environment
  • Digital Accessibility
  • Accessible content and signage
  • Customer Service
  • Accessible Activités
