David,

Can you describe to us what ideas you have come up with so far which have
been rejected and why?

Hi everybody,

I am currently putting together a Disability Equality Scheme for an art
gallery. As part of the process I have arranged for thr Gallery to host a
consultation event which disability organisations from the region will
attend. The event is not exclusive to blind and visually impaired visitors.
I have arranged for a series of talks by practitioners and artists with
disabilities to take place during the morning session. In the afternoon I
plan to facilitate some activities and a feedback session that will
hopefully generate some useful ideas about how the Gallery can identify
specific disability-equality targets and implement recommended strategies.
The groundwork for an ongoing disability equality forum will also be laid.

I am finding it diffucult to devise a series of activities that are likely
to generate the type of response that will be of use to the Gallery in its
attempts to make itself more inclusive and accessible. The ideas I have come
up with so far have been rejected by the Gallerry's Education Officer, and
so I am hoping that somebody who has undertaken a simlar consultancy event
in the past might share with me a description of exercises that were
particularly effective. Thanks very much.
