WHAT IS A FAMILIARISATION VIDEO?
A BIT LIKE SEEING WHAT'S BEYOND THE DOOR,
WITHOUT HAVING TO STEP THROUGH IT...
Familiarisation Videos are detailed tour videos,
that can be used to see a venue or public space before
you actually go there.
We recognise that many people feel nervous or anxious before going
somewhere new or unfamiliar, these Familiarisation Videos will help
overcome that.
We found that new Mums and Dads were anxious about finding somewhere
suitable to take their new born, to feed and change. Familiarisation Videos would
identify comfortable and accommodating venues to spend some time with friends
or other new parents.
For people with a disability or hidden illness, Familiarisation Videos can be helpful to
see what facilities there are and how you will manage your visit. It will also allow you to
see if there is anything you can request to make your visit more enjoyable beforehand.
These Familiarisation Videos can also be used to prepare individuals with conditions
Such as Autism or Dementia. It can also be used to remind them of where they have
already been and what they did.
Familiarisation Videos are created by a passionate team using a prescribed list of
features and facilities that must be included.

through to exit. Some of the things you will find on the videos:
