Good practice: creating an accessible system for people with physical limitations: Part 2
Reagan Persaud‘s follow-up article is published in the June issue of Family Law Journal in the second of a three-part series.
Synopsis
In part one of this three-part series, we explored what it can mean to have a physical disability, inclusive language and its importance, and what support can be brought in via intermediaries and others to assist people with physical limitations to take part in the court process. In part two, this article covers the day-to-day hardship that a courtroom can bring for people with disabilities, and the emotional impact on the individual of having to use a system not designed for them. The article provides guidance on what adjustments can be made in the courtroom, and also covers the issue of what test applies when a person asserts that their limitations mean that they cannot participate in the process at all.
