Unfortunately, it is difficult to provide access for participants with mobility issues within our schemes. The reason for this is that whilst the facilities we hire should have an element of wheelchair access we do not have access to whole sites. We generally have restricted use of facilities which then makes access difficult. In most cases the facilities rooms that we have access to have stairs with no lifts. There may be instances where a facility hire policy has changed and we have ground use only. In this instance there could be access to schemes after discussion with the Area Manager. The Area manager would discuss the risk assessment and contact the facility to see if arrangements could be made. Staff would then be able to adjust any programmes if necessary and if ratios were not compromised. At the minute this is our mobility access based on what we can use at facilities.
