Jarvis Access status

Amber — some concerns

Independent assessment

Lifts provide access between the main decks, but the one-wheelchair-user-per-deck evacuation limit materially constrains capacity.

Why this rating

Cutty Sark publishes lift access, wheelchairs, accessible travel information, BSL and audio resources, assistance-dog access and free carer entry. Wheelchairs should be pre-booked, staff cannot provide personal assistance and only one wheelchair user may be present on each deck at a time for evacuation safety.
