All In: The New Access Scheme for Disabled, Deaf and Neurodivergent Audiences

Join All In for an introduction to the new access scheme designed to help creative and cultural organisations remove barriers to access and improve experiences for deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent people across the UK and Ireland.

Nearly one in four people in the UK* have a disability, representing a significant audience for creative and cultural organisations. All In will share how organisations can use practical tools, expert guidance, and Accessibility Standards to help make accessibility improvements and create more welcoming experiences for disabled audiences and visitors.

This online session will be led by Andrew Miller, UK Arts Access Champion for All In, and will take place on Wednesday 7 October, 4.30pm to 5.30pm.

All In is a partnership between the five arts councils and arts development agencies of the UK and Ireland, working together to improve accessibility across the creative and cultural sector.

The presentation will cover:

• An introduction to All In and why it’s needed
• How All In will work for disabled members and participating organisations
• An overview of the first Accessibility Standards for creativity and culture across the UK and Ireland
• A demonstration of key features, including support from access specialists, how disabled members can share access requirements through All In, and how the All In listings will help you promote your experiences to new audiences.
• How the scheme will operate across the UK and Ireland.
• Insights and learning from the Leeds pilot programme
• Subscription packages and the rollout timeline

This will be followed by a Q&A session open to all attendees.
