Disabled access and facilities in business premises

Making our services accessible to disabled people - Lyric Theatre (video)

Case Study

Ciaran McAuley, Chief Operating Officer at the Lyric Theatre, explains how they make their facilities accessible to disabled people.

When the Lyric Theatre was rebuilt in 2011, steps were taken to ensure the new building would be accessible to all. Equipment and services such as audio-described shows and induction loops, make it easier for customers with disabilities to attend performances.

Ciaran explains the approach the Lyric take in regard to accessibility and how they work with staff and customers to continue providing accessible services.
