Ms Clare McLaughlin:

Some venues are not accessible and some venues do not put themselves in the shoes of the person with a disability to help to make the venue more accessible, which is just not on. It would help if all of the staff in the galleries, museums and publicly-funded places were trained and had a session with people trying to access services. It is all very well if people are interested in accessing services, but what about people who might think it is not for them? It is a matter of information and accommodation for people. That should be a given for any funding provided to public places.
