Disabled access

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office and this Deputy High Commission are keen to ensure that our buildings and services are fully accessible to disabled members of the public. Wherever possible, we have made our buildings and services accessible. Sometimes, however, this is not possible due to security or other restrictions. In these situations we will endeavour to provide a service or access to a building in an alternative way to ensure equality of access to a building in an alternative way to ensure equality of access for disabled people. To assist disabled visitors, we have set out below details of disabled access at this Deputy High Commission. If you have any other specific needs, please telephone the relevant Section to discuss your requirements; we will do our best to accommodate you.
