Access Officers are appointed in accordance with section 26(2) of the Disability Act 2005. Access Officers are responsible for providing or arranging for, and coordinating assistance
and guidance, to persons with disabilities accessing services provided and generally to act as a point of contact for people with disabilities wishing to access such services.
