What's on

Accessibility

Spaces at The Spine has been designed with accessibility in mind to ensure that every delegate and visitor has an equally enjoyable experience while with us.

To discuss accessibility requirements in more detail with our team at Spaces at The Spine, please contact spaces@rcp.ac.uk

We have a separate accessible entrance at the front of the building, as well as a low section on the main reception and lower reception areas on our event floors to allow easier access for wheelchair users. 

We ask all our clients to let us know of any impairments and/or accessibility needs in advance, so a Generic Emergency Evacuation Plan (GEEP) can be prepared for each attendee. This allows us to allocate resources to cover health and safety and provide evacuation support on the day through our buddy system. 

Members of our team are buddy-trained so in case of a fire emergency, any attendee needing assistance has someone specifically trained to help them. A buddy will greet them on arrival and explain emergency procedures and details including the refuge area, communication system, and rescue process.

Where additional needs have not been communicated to the organiser until the day of the meeting/event, the organiser should make these known to the Event Manager on duty and the attendee(s) can then be introduced to a buddy for an emergency briefing.

Accessible toilet facilities equipped with emergency alarms are located on all floors and can be accessed from all of our event spaces. 

Spaces at The Spine is split across four different floors, including the ground floor, and we have six lifts which give access to every event floor.

We have accessible parking bays in the undercroft available on request in advance. 

Booking required ahead of event

Quiet rooms can be provided for guests with neurodiversity, cognitive impairment, and sensory processing issues. We can also stream any conference from our top two event floors into an additional room. 

All event areas at Spaces at The Spine are equipped with Sennheiser MobileConnect. MobileConnect is an assistive and personal listening solution that streams live audio content via Wi-Fi to any iOS or Android phone. Spaces with Sennheiser MobileConnect will have a QR code displayed in the room which can be scanned to connect to audio in that space.  

You are welcome to bring guide dogs, hearing dogs or other assistance dogs into our venue.

We have two baby changing areas with nappy bins - one is located within the ground floor disabled toilet, and the other is located within the female toilet on floor 12.

A contemplation room is available on floor 11 for delegates who require a prayer room, nursing room or a quiet space for contemplation.
