Visit Jersey Accessible Tourism
Note regarding the law:
Jersey’s discrimination legislation was introduced in September 2018. This means those visitors with a disability should expect the same level of service as other tourists from their hosts. The legislation works in a similar way to that of other jurisdictions and is based on the need for organisations to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate disabilities.
The law also contains an allowance for organisations of 2 years from the introduction of the law to give them time to make physical changes to their premises. We are currently in this ‘period of grace’ with regard to reasonable adjustments to physical premises. The other duties to make reasonable adjustments (i.e. to PCPs or requirements to provide auxiliary aids) are in force immediately.
