Accessible information service – Regulations

As part of the Accessibility to Services Regulations (Equal Rights for People with Disabilities Regulations, 2013), organizations and companies are required to provide their clients with information that is tailored to suit their various disabilities. The Central Library for Blind and Reading Impaired People offers its services to make content accessible, by conversion of textual information to the following formats: audio, Braille and Large Print, accessible to reading impaired clients. The Library also provides audio description services for video content and tagging of digital files for reading via a computer screen-reader.
 

Who has to provide accessible information?

Any public service, as defined by law, must provide access to information content as part of its service, at the request of a disabled person, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation 31 and subject to exemptions granted where the burden is too heavy and would lead to a significant change in the service.
 

What information has to be made accessible under Regulation 31?

 
The obligation to provide access applies to all information that is available to the general public, and to information about the service that is provided to an individual with disabilities, as part of the service.
