Representatives from the LGBT Neighbourhood Policing Team will explain how ‘policing’ works over Pride and how we can work together to create a safe and enjoyable Pride 2014.

A representative from Brighton & Hove City Council will give advice on how the application process works, what makes a good application, and how to apply.

This workshop will provide community stallholders with information about stall holding at Preston Park, along with a question and answer session to help the park event go smoothly for people with a stall.

This workshop will enable the attendee to understand how Pride is working with the LGBT CSF to create an inclusive event it will identify the significance of each individual attending receiving the same good quality of service.

Areas covered will include deaf awareness and a basic understanding of British Sign Language, how to assist a person with mobility issues, wheelchair access to the park, the access tent and services, supporting our older citizens, how to assist a person with visual impairment, using appropriate language and terminologies, invisible disabilities, accessible toilets and the freedom pass scheme.
