Accessibility, Inclusion and Equality Statement

Busy Corner Books is committed to creating spaces that are accessible, respectful, and inclusive.

This work is grounded in the belief that every person carries dignity, creativity, and inherent worth.

Equality & Non-Discrimination

Busy Corner Books does not discriminate based on:

Age
Disability
Race or ethnicity
Religion or belief
Sex or gender
Sexual orientation
Socio-economic background

All participants are treated with respect and fairness.

Accessibility

Every effort is made to ensure that services are accessible wherever reasonably possible.

This may include:

Providing materials in alternative formats upon request
Adjusting pacing or delivery style
Offering online participation options
Considering sensory, physical, or cognitive needs

If you require specific adjustments to participate fully, you are encouraged to make this known at the earliest opportunity so that reasonable steps can be taken.

Disability Inclusion

Busy Corner Books recognises that disability may be visible or invisible.

Requests for reasonable adjustments will be treated seriously, respectfully, and confidentially.

Participation should not be limited by unnecessary barriers.

Group Spaces

In group settings, participants are asked to contribute to an atmosphere of mutual respect and consideration.

Language or behaviour that undermines the dignity of others is not acceptable.

Ongoing Commitment

Accessibility and inclusion are ongoing commitments rather than static achievements.

If you experience any barriers when engaging with Busy Corner Books, you are encouraged to raise these so improvements can be made.
