DIDA Accessible Events Checklist for Clubs
 

Why make events accessible?

  • 10% of students at the University of Adelaide are disabled or chronically ill
  • 22% of South Australians have a disability
  • We will all experience illness and injury in our lives
  • Disabilities can be invisible – accessibility takes off the pressure to disclose
  • We don’t want people to miss out!

Before an event

Picking a venue:

  • Wheelchair access: lift access, the path from the Hub, space in the venue
  • Bathroom access: closest bathroom, closest accessible bathroom
  • Nearest exits
  • Noise: can doors be shut or opened?
  • Light: blinds opened or closed
  • Seating: chairs?

During an event

  • For hybrid events, assign in-person AND online ‘hosts’
  • Be on the lookout for signs attendees need help

After an event

Caption recordings of events

  • Use free websites and apps to apply captions to a video or to auto-generate a closed caption file (SRT file) which can be uploaded to YouTube videos.
  • Edit the auto-generated captions to ensure they are correct!
