| | Added: <p>As Accessibull Eats is a volunteer initiative that does not have limited liability, it is not able to provide information to help businesses meet their legislated requirements. This is why the guidelines do not specify exact space and height measurements. Instead, Accessibull Eats can guide businesses through the masses of information available elsewhere towards what is most useful and relevant. </p> |
