Visitors to the UK
Visitors to the UK with special needs will find an increasing range of accessible services and accommodation, since the implementation the the Disability Discrimination Act. This requires businesses to take 'reasonable steps' to avoid discrimination against people for reason of their disability, including the removal wherever possible of physical barriers. However, what is 'reasonable' is open to much interpretation, and visitors will still find that they need to research their journey with some care. We hope that this website will help answer some of your questions, and show you where to find what you need to know. You might use the TFA directory to search for any special requirements you may have, such as accessible car hire, care services, equipment hire, etc. Please also take a look at the Useful Info section.
We also welcome your feedback - please use the enquiry/feedback form for this, and please tell us of good places that you would like to recommend, as much as the bad experiences.
We hope that you enjoy your trip to the UK!
