Adaptations for people with special needs
At the Bled Congress Centre, we believe in equality and an inclusive experience for all our visitors. That is why we consistently implement measures to improve accessibility:
Physical Accessibility: In 2024, an Accessibility Review of the facility was conducted, along with measures for improving accessibility. In accordance with the Regulation on Ensuring Unobstructed Access, Entry, and Use of Public Buildings and Multi-Residential Structures, accessibility adaptations at the Bled Congress Centre will begin in 2025.
Specially Trained Staff: When needed, we ensure that our staff are trained to communicate with and assist individuals with various needs, including the use of basic sign language.
Personalized Assistance: Assistance is available for moving around the venue, and personal support is provided when necessary. Our staff are patient and ready to explain information in a clear and understandable way.
Content Adaptation: At events, if needed, we provide sign language interpretation, subtitles, or audio descriptions for individuals with hearing or visual impairments.
Family-Friendly Events: Programs and activities are adapted for children with developmental disorders or other special needs.
