accessibility

We should write something about the venues and their accessibility.

I've emailed SM to see if they have an accessibility statement we can link to. The downstairs is, I think, fully accessible, but I don;'t know what the options are for when we have to go upstairs.

I've tweeted at the slaughtered lamb to see if they have anything. I'm less convinced that it is (pretty sure there's no upstairs toilet for example), but http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/the-slaughtered-lamb-london does claim it is wheelchair accessible - just don't know if that means anything more than "it's on the ground floor and has a wide door".

When / if I hear back I'll write something and link to stuff if I can.

There's this from the slaughtered lamb: http://twitter.com/slaughteredlam/status/400311553171283969 (hoping for something a little less impermanent than a tweet though).

Have some feedback from the slaughtered lamb. Basically they have nothing online, but are effectively wheelchair accessible on the ground floow (and that's where the disabled bathroom is), not downstairs - but then we don't go there. Once I hear from SM I'll turn it into some words.

SM are working up their own T&Cs which I think is also going to include their accessibility statement which we can link to. For what it's worth the part of the venue we use (the ground floor) seems accessible and, like the pub, that's where the disabled toilet is too.

Now that we've moved we should check for accessibility reports from the new venues. Seems fairly likely that Code Node is fully accessible, but I'm unsure about Singer Tavern.

Can't find anything on Code Node - but the map/plan on https://skillsmatter.com/locations/263-codenode-london-event-space has lifts and toilets on both floors.

Again, can't find anything on Singer Tavern as their website is the typically opaque upmarket bar website. The tail end of this review does mention a few things: http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?Singer_Tavern%2C_EC1Y_1AG.

Now we're floating across venues it's hard for us to say if spaces are / aren't accessible. Probably any recent-ish office space would be by law, but who knows TBH. We do ask for accessibility info via the venue survey and are unlikely to choose a venue that admits to not being accessible. I think we could do better about it though.
