In branches:
We are improving our branches to make access easier for everyone. For example, we are improving lighting levels and fitting handrails to steps.
Where possible, all of our new and refurbished branches have been designed with the following features:
a permanent or temporary ramp
automatic or power assisted doors
audio Induction loops installed on some counter positions and a portable induction loop that can be used during meetings and interviews
interview rooms at ground level with access suitable for wheelchair users
counter positions at lower levels for customers who use wheelchairs and, in branches where this isn't possible, a writing table at a lower level
layout and signage designed with suitable colour contrast to assist our partially sighted customers.
