Making museums accessible to all
Invitation to an open morning at Ipswich Museum for people with
disabilities

In April 2000 Colchester Museums established a disability access
advisory group, known as PORTAL.  The group advises on physical and
intellectual access to the whole range of museum services.  It also
ensures that resources are used effectively.

Now, Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service wants to establish a
disability access advisory group based in Ipswich.

Would you like to work with Ipswich Museums to advise on:
-          Developing touch tours/handling sessions and other resources
for visually impaired visitors?
-          Sign language events/facilities and other resources for
deaf/hearing impaired visitors?
-          Facilities and access improvements for people with mobility
disabilities?


If you are interested in helping Colchester and Ipswich Museum Service
make its museums more accessible to all, then please come along to
Ipswich Museum, High Street, Ipswich, on Wednesday, 17th December 2008
from 10.30am - 1pm. Please register your interest by calling Sophie
Weaver, access officer on 01206 506937 or emailing
sophie.weaver@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You will have the opportunity to meet members of PORTAL, the Colchester
based group, hear their experiences of working with the museums, ask
questions and learn how you can be involved in future projects at
Ipswich Museums.
