Require venues to have full accessibility info on their websites

Summary

To improve disability rights, there should be a legal requirement for all venues, businesses and shops to publish easy to find accessibility information on their websites and social media, even if it means stating they are not accessible. Navigating the world as a disabled person is difficult enough without venues not showing vital information that could make things so much easier. Too many places either have no information about accessibility at all, or it’s very difficult to find. Emails are often ignored, and answers not easy to get - in some cases because places might not want to admit they aren’t accessible. We believe this kind of legal requirement would make planning easier and would stop companies avoiding the subject.
