The city of Liverpool has introduced a new charter encouraging visitor attractions, cultural venues and restaurants in the British destination to be as inclusive as possible.
The ‘Inclusive Places’ Mayoral Charter Mark was launched on May 3, with the initiative designed to help businesses across the visitor economy understand the requirements of deaf, disabled and neurodivergent individuals, by building equality into all elements of the experiences for guests and visitors.
Ahead of the launch, National Museums Liverpool initially trialled the scheme, to work out the best way to implement the Charter. As a result, the museum now offers sensory tours and inclusion days. It’s also about to launch tours for people who would prefer to access venues out of hours, have a dedicated programme for babies and have developed a breastfeeding charter.
“Liverpool attracts millions of visitors every year and we want each one of them to have the best possible experience while they are here, including when planning visits to the city,” said councillor Harry Doyle.
“We want our city to become a model of best-practice accessibility, through our community and business leaders advocating for places and spaces that are accessible for all.”
