This year Visible Inclusive Accessibility (VIA) has worked with Museums Galleries Scotland (MGS) to develop and deliver as their appointed contractor an Anti-Ableism Workshop Series tailored to the museum sector. The workshops formed part of the Museum Transformers and Museum Activists programmes. The workshops content was created in such a way that it is adaptable to the lived and professional experience of the external facilitator and met their following objectives: Increase participants’ knowledge and skills around the structural, systemic and institutional ableism endured by disabled people, as well as examples of anti-ableist practices within the heritage sector (these examples do not have to be Scotland or UK-based); Prepare participating organisations to understand their legal and public duties and responsibilities under the Equality Act/National Performance Framework/Human Rights Bill and the wider equalities legislative context; Provide tools and techniques to critically engage with issues relating to ableism in all its expressions, both within the sector and in the participating organisations; Create agency, confidence and momentum among participants to transfer the learning from this programme to their own respective institutions; and Create participant confidence and agency to be institutions that are grounded in the “Delivering Change Group Agreements” and are supporting their workforce to become anti-ableist. By the end of the workshops it was intended that participants would: Be able to demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of ableism and its complexities within the heritage sector; Feel more confident and competent to start actively dismantling institutional ableism within their own respective organisations; Understand their public duties e.g. Equalities Act, National Performance Framework and Human Rights Bill; and Feel supported to develop their anti-ableist principles in an environment that is grounded in the “Delivering Change Group Agreements.” VIA also worked as facilitators to help deliver the workshop series to MGS partner organisations. Towards the end of 2026 this work was completed.
Visible Inclusive Accessibility CIC (VIA) places lived experience at the heart of all its activities. Consultation with disabled, neurodivergent, and otherwise underrepresented individuals is central to the organisation's decision-making, service design, and delivery. During the 2025-26 financial year, VIA engaged in multiple forms of stakeholder consultation to ensure that its work remains responsive, relevant. and community-led. These included: Direct consultation with disabled people through structured conversations, feedback sessions, and mentorship discussions to inform the development and the wider direction of VIA 's services. Workshop evaluations and surveys conducted after training sessions, capturing participant feedback and suggestions for improvement. Results showed consistently high satisfaction. Collaborative partnership work with organisations such as Museums Galleries Scotland to co-design and test training content that reflects both organisational needs and lived experience perspectives. Ongoing dialogue through professional networks, mentoring programmes (Creative Edinburgh, Firstport LaunchMe), and social enterprise communities to refine VIA 's approach and maximise community impact. All feedback received is reviewed by the directors and used to inform strategic priorities, operational improvements, and the design of new resources. VIA remains committed to maintaining transparent, continuous consultation to ensure that the voices of disabled and neurodivergent people continue to shape its future development.
