CredAbility is a quality mark awarded to businesses show commitment as being a better provider for people with access needs. There are three levels awarded; CredAble Provider, CredAble Access and CredAble Employer.

Access Card is in place to provide a more efficient and dignified way to communicate needs and evidence disability. The card translates the individual’s disability or impairment into symbols to highlight the barriers faced and the reasonable adjustments the business may need to make. It may gain those individuals access to additional benefits such as concessionary ticket prices too – all without the pain of exchanging long, drawn-out conversations to arrive at this information.

The cost for the Access Card is £15 for three years.
