We are going to ask you to consider different scenarios where you have come into contact with a disabled person. Please imagine yourself in the scenario and honestly indicate how you would act.

Imagine you are driving around a busy car park, looking for a spot. You eventually manage to park at the very end of the car park. You see a driver pull into the disabled parking space at the front of the car park. The driver then exits their car and walks away. They do not appear to be disabled.

Imagine you enter a train station and you are in a rush because you need to make your train on time. As you get onto the escalator, you notice that the man in front of you has a guide dog and you are unable to pass the man and his dog. You are in a rush and not able to pass the man on the escalator, and are worried you might be late for your train.
Apologise and try to squeeze past the man and his dog to get up the escalator fasterAsk the man if he can pick his guide dog up or move it out of the way so you can walk pastWait on the escalator and pass the man once there is enough space to do so after you have exited the escalatorWait on the escalator but suggest to the man that he uses the lift in the future so people don’t get stuck behind him

Imagine you are a server at a restaurant. On a busy Friday evening, you seat two friends, one of whom appears to have a visual impairment and is walking with a white cane. Later on in the evening, you see the customer with the visual impairment rise from their seat and head in the direction of the toilets. As the restaurant is very busy, the customer seems to be struggling to navigate their way around the tables of other diners.
