Our Toolkit and 'Mystery Shoppers' Help Accessibility

Our Toolkit and 'Mystery Shoppers' Help Accessibility

Our Healthy Living and Physical Activity Project, which aims to make community healthy living and physical activity groups and facilities more accessible to adults with autism, learning disabilities and severe mental illness, now supports ‘mystery shoppers’ to give feedback to organisations about their activities.

The ‘mystery shoppers’ are people with lived experience who will try out the activities and give their views.

Their free toolkit is now available online and can be used in many ways; as a training tool, a checklist, the starting point for a team discussion, it can be printed off as posters or added to induction programmes for staff and volunteers.

Topics include:
• What is autism?
• What is a learning disability?
• What is severe mental illness?
• Different ways of thinking about disability
• Changing Attitudes
• How to involve disabled people
• What helps people join your activities?
• Using the right language
• Physical environment
• Advertising your activities
• Setting up a buddying system
• Skills and knowledge

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
