It is extremely almost that the DDA (Disability Discrimination achievement UK) does not appear to have addressed the areas of secure refuge in multi storey buildings for people like Learning Difficulties, should it be expectable to escort a LD person to such an place and then expect them to wait patiently until support arrives? OK we would hope or even expect that nobody would be left unaccompanied in such a thing but it should be remember that in an emergency, enthusiasm or death event many people think solitary of their own safety. A unhappy but legal fact. In fact, anecdotal evidence suggests that disabled people are often forgotten during emergency evacuation.
As a wheelchair addict I sufficiently enter upon that we should be able to have entrance to most reasonably priced public buildings, however as an right of entry auditor I feel if we cant acquire out of the building safely, we should not be going in it, at least not until those liable have addressed all issues including egress.
My advice to every people behind entering a building, is: think very nearly how you (Or the person in the manner of you) will acquire out in an emergency as well as how you will get in.
