The
Public Awareness Committee, (PAC), is the avenue through which those whom we
seek to campaign for, acquire opportunities to discuss provisions and air
problems with those in positions of responsibility as service providers in
creating an environment which is accessible for everyone within the community. For the last number of years the William Keown Trust has organised public awareness meetings throughout Northern Ireland. The purpose of these meetings is to offer the opportunity for both the ‘providers’ and ‘users’ of the various services to come together with a view to complementing and improving them and to focus appraisal on issues relating to disability access within the built and open environments. These
meetings are generally held twice yearly, in the spring and in the autumn in
local council offices throughout Northern Ireland . At previous meetings representatives attending were focused on the need for a more ‘user friendly’ environment for everyone. This unique opportunity of service provider and user meeting together is both educational and constructive and leads to a clearer understanding on barrier-free access. |
