I learnt through sight and sound, making it easier to understand what it was like to live in Germany in 1938.

Access and SEN

Local disabled groups have been consulted throughout the planning and building of The Journey. As a result, the space benefits from:

• a lift to enter and leave the exhibition

• levelled floors

• wide doorways and walk-ways

• seating in rooms, if required

• sounds and smells to give context of the story and objects

• minimal text - the multi-sensory approach offers the opportunity for visitors to access the story at their own level

We are continuing to develop access to include:

• BSL on recordings for visitors with hearing impairments or who are deaf

• audio description for visitors with visual impairments or who are blind

• braille description and large print

The Centre has several parking spaces for disabled visitors. For school groups arriving by coach, children requiring disabled access may be dropped off at the alternative entrance before parking in the main car park. The Journey has its own toilet facilities for school groups, including a disabled toilet.
