The Independent Cinema Office (ICO) has worked with Shape to develop a reference guideline for independent cinemas to improve access in venues for their disabled visitors.

Shape is a disability-led arts organisation that for over 30 years has been working to improve access to the arts and culture.

The guide offers a starting point for developing audiences and improving access for your cinema. It covers topics including:

  • Why you should make your cinema more accessible
  • Language and etiquette when engaging with disabled visitors 
  • Tips for producing accessible marketing and publicity materials
  • Useful terms and definitions
