This includes ensuring the venue is fully accessible, providing adequate seating, offering quiet or low-stimulus areas for guests with sensory sensitivities, and making sure pathways, restrooms, and entrances accommodate mobility aids.

Proposal to Replace PIP with ACDP Gains Momentum

At DisabledEntrepreneur.uk, we support the ACDP approach because it is designed by disabled people, for disabled people, and recognises the full reality of daily barriers. We reject any system that forces claimants to “prove” their disability-related costs with receipts or spending controls, as this strips people of dignity and human rights. Disabled people know best how to manage their own lives and finances; what they need is trust, fair support, and recognition of the extra costs they face, not surveillance.
