P-05-806 We call for all premises in Wales to be awarded an Access Certificate number similar to the Food Hygiene Certificate – Correspondence, Disability Wales to Committee, 07.02.20

 

Further to discussions with Welsh Government and Bridgend Coalition of Disabled People as referred to below, we submitted a proposal to scope the potential for a pilot scheme re Scores on the Doors, to be delivered coproductively with the Coalition.  To date, Welsh Government has not commissioned us to deliver the scheme. Our understanding from recent meetings with officials, is that funding to do so is likely to become available during 2020-21, in line with a commitment made in the Framework for Action on Disability: the Right to Independent Living (p59):

We remain committed to working with the Coalition to bring Scores on the Doors to fruition and look forward to the opportunity to do so.
