Accessibility
We have funding available to provide a BSL interpreter for the Bat Talk. Please let is know if you require an interpreter by emailing nature@framptoncotterell-pc.gov.uk.
We have both visual and audio bat detectors available for use during the optional Bat Walk.
We have braille copies of "What Bat is That?" leaflet and an audio guide on identifying bats.
The Brockeridge Centre is accessible for wheelchair users and people with mobility issues.
We will plan the optional bat walk with the aim to cover accessible routes; there will be a section on flat grass which is suitable for many wheelchairs and pushchairs, but if there has been rain these sections may be muddy.
If you have any accessibility requirements, requests or concerns, we encourage and welcome you to contact us on nature@framptoncotterell-pc.gov.uk. We are dedicated to improving accessibility for all where we can, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!
