Accessibility

"Our vision for Tate is to create a permeable institution, removing barriers to Tate's buildings, programmes and professional networks – and offering employment opportunities that are open to all. The access needs of everyone are included in Tate's thinking, not as an afterthought or even an obligation, but as an intrinsic part of our plans and ambitions for Tate."

Nicholas Serota, Director, Disability Equality Scheme, 2006
