The organisation should have relevant expertise / knowledge in delivering training and high-quality materials. The Council and its partners including the West Midlands Growth Company are committed to making the city a welcoming and inclusive leisure destination for visitors and residents. The opportunity of hosting the Commonwealth Games, which includes para sporting events, is seen as driver for positive change in the West Midlands Region. The Council's Adult Social Care directorate supports businesses through grant applications to make accessibility changes and works with Access Able to provide comprehensive accessibility information for its buildings and is keen to drive more organisations to follow suit. This project will need to deliver the following objectives: a. To develop an engaging, high-quality accessible tourism training programme for Birmingham visitor economy businesses. b.

Local accessibility champions may prove more relatable to SMEs than national chains. c. Guidance on marketing a business' accessibility. d.

Considerations for businesses who could be restricted from making changes such as listed building regulations in the heritage sector. g.
