People with Impaired Mobility
When meeting with people who use wheel chairs or have restricted mobility, bear the following in mind:
- Stand in front of them and try to place yourself at their eye level.
- Don't move about (so that they don't have to continually change position in order to see you).
- Talk directly to a wheelchair user, not to their companion.
- Don't lean on a wheelchair - you are invading the body space of the user.
When arranging to meet people with impaired mobility, you should also consider:
- Are there suitable parking facilities?
- Is there a ramp or step-free entrance?
- Is there a lift, if necessary?
- Are there suitable toilet facilities?
- Has reception been notified so that they can provide assistance if required?
If there are difficulties, contact the disabled person in advance and discuss alternatives.
