That is why we are working with venues and organisations representing disabled people to identify barriers to access, while at the same time seeing how we can share examples of best practice and what more cultural venues need to do to be accessible to people with disabilities. Our recently published Culture White Paper makes a specific commitment to work with the cultural sector to improve physical access to venues.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>We support the work of Attitude is Everything, which works with audiences, artists, and the music industry to improve deaf and disabled people\u2019s access to live events. My ministerial colleague Ed Vaizey also held a roundtable meeting with Justin Tomlinson, Minister for Disabled People to look at access to cultural venues and events for disabled people. Additionally, provisions in the Equality Act 2010 require providers of services to the public (for example music venues), to make a \u2018reasonable adjustment\u2019 so that disabled people are not placed at a \u201csubstantial disadvantage\u201d to non-disabled people.<\/p>"}
