Able Magazine is proud to support Access Card!
The Access Card is a card like no other, we translate your disability / impairment into symbols which highlight the barriers you face and the reasonable adjustments you might need.
This then informs providers quickly and discreetly about the support you need and may gain you access to things like concessionary ticket prices and complex reasonable adjustments without having to go into loads of personal detail.
Its all based on your rights under the Equality Act and providers responsibilities.
The Access Card contains symbols related to your needs and is accepted as proof of disability and more at venues across the country
Nimbus Disability, created the Access Card and its associated Quality Assurance Scheme CredAbility.
Nimbus is a Social Enterprise set up by disabled people in 2006 to provide advice and guidance to organisations on how best to meet disabled people’s needs in line with what was then the Disability Discrimination Act.
Over the years Nimbus has worked with a wide range of different companies each facing their own issues with regard to working with disabled people.
Long story short: we married our experience of working with companies and for disabled people; eventually coming up with what we call ‘the bits in the middle’: CredAbility and The Access Card!
