to improve opportunities for disabled people to influence policy, service provision, and support by ensuring that the full range of Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) disability organisations across the North West are provided with consistently good and accessible support/capacity building services.

Results
Urban vs RuralCompared urban and more rural areas because of

But:
No Significant Differences

Key Indicators
Access Audits most frequent indicator
(25 organisations) Every VCS organisation that had
undertaken Disability Equality Training (19 organisations) had achieved at least one more indicator
4 organisations only had an Access Audit
![Page 12: North West Disability Infrastructure Partnership - Mapping Report Merseyside Disability Federation Charity No:1082671. 2011.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649de85503460f94ae2677/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Conclusions
Disability Equality Training is the best first step for organisations that want to become fully accessible
Access Audits are a good second step Accessibility of websites is often
overlooked
![Page 13: North West Disability Infrastructure Partnership - Mapping Report Merseyside Disability Federation Charity No:1082671. 2011.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033107/56649de85503460f94ae2677/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Recommendations
Widen adoption of DET Increase take-up of Access Audits Stimulate more website accessibility
audits

Comments
“However hard we try there will always be some barriers.
“Our organisation is based on equality and therefore we do not ask people if they have a disability as we have found many of our volunteers do not wish to disclose this information especially if it is a hidden disability. If they volunteer the information - that is recorded.”
