Including everyone in... Worship
Can everyone be included in worship, liturgy, the sacraments and prayers? Can you be creative in using audio and visual stimuli during worship?
- Singing / Music
Is there a specific area for musicians/choir and is it easily accessible i.e. no steps, wires and cables kept out of the way? - Preaching
Is your pulpit or speaking platform fully accessible for speakers with mobility difficulties or wheelchair users? If not, can you arrange an alternative location? - Praying
Can alternative arrangements be made if there are any physical features that may hinder someone with mobility impairments from praying e.g. not having to kneel in the pew, radio microphones that can be taken to a person rather than the person accessing the microphones - Communion
Is there a communion rail that may restrict people’s involvement in communion? Are you able to take communion to people in their seats? Can you provide gluten-free wafers for those with celiac condition? Can you provide a straw or a larger cup for those with co-ordination difficulties or unsteady hands? - Small Groups
Where do your small groups meet? Are some, most, or even all of them accessible to disabled people? Can accessible alternative venues be found if required?
