Question
To ask the Scottish Government what it is doing to ensure that safety messaging is accessible for disabled people.
Answer
The Scottish Government recognises the importance of safety messages being accessible to disabled people. We support the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents and the Child Accident Prevention Trust to provide effective and appropriate safety messaging. We also support RoSPA to provide the secretariat to the Scottish Parliament’s Cross Party Group on Accident Prevention and Safety Awareness. I understand that the Group is discussing ‘safety and impairment’ at the next meeting and I look forward to hearing about any outcomes from this discussion.
