Accessibility

We believe everyone should be treated equally, regardless of impairments, and so we will create a welcoming environment for all. We recognise the importance of making our facilities, services, information and employment accessible.  In order to achieve this we have developed our Access Policy and Action Plan to equip us to become accessible to everyone. By implementing our Access Policy and Action Plan, we will ensure that all employees and visitors are treated equally and in accordance with their needs. We have identified the following areas as our key priorities:

Our Access Policy and Action Plan will make The Gleneagle Group more accessible for people with impairments including mobility, sight, hearing, learning disabilities or any hidden impairments.
