User engagement

Our engagement techniques are user-led, and activity based. We have particular skills in non-written engagement tools, such as pictorial symbols and sensory and verbal response, that generate meaningful feedback from user groups.

Accessible information

One day training events that combine examples of good practice with practical workshops using tools developed by the Sensory Trust to assess the quality of information provision and look at ways to make existing information more accessible.

We have delivered several training sessions to Eden on the themes of disability and diversity to broaden to audience at the Eden Project and make the experience of Eden even better.
