What it is
The relationship between The Access Advantage and Strategic Access Consulting
The Access Advantage is the publication from Strategic Access Consulting. It takes the same legal and operational expertise that drives the consultancy’s audits, training and retainer work, and delivers it as a monthly briefing for senior decision-makers who need to stay ahead of the law between engagements.
It covers accessibility law, operational accessibility, customer experience and commercial risk. It is written for venues, promoters, organisers, sports bodies, theatres, visitor attractions and other customer-facing organisations, particularly those in sport, music, entertainment and live events.
Every edition is written by Chris Fry, disability access consultant, Equality Act 2010 specialist and founder of Strategic Access Consulting.

Everything you need to stay ahead of the law
Monthly legal briefings
Every month, one focused briefing translating the most important caselaw and regulatory development into operational language you can act on. No legal jargon. No filler.
Sector-specific analysis
Every briefing is written specifically for sport, music, entertainment, and live events. The challenges your organisation faces are different from a GP surgery or a bank, and the analysis reflects that.
One question answered personally
Each month, subscribers can put one question directly to Chris Fry and get a personal response. Not a chatbot. Not a FAQ. A direct answer based on the specifics of your situation.
First sight of every new tool
Every compliance framework, checklist, and resource is shared with subscribers before it goes anywhere else. You're not getting the leftovers, you're getting it first.
The full archive, available immediately
Every briefing published so far is available to subscribers from day one. You're not starting at the beginning of the queue, you get everything.

Who writes it
Decades of experience. No jargon.
Chris Fry is a disability access consultant, Equality Act 2010 specialist and CEDR-accredited mediator. A former practising solicitor, he is the founder of Strategic Access Consulting and has spent decades working with the legal system on disability access and equality. He has contributed to House of Lords and Commons Select Committee proceedings, worked on Court of Appeal and Supreme Court cases, and is a CEDR-accredited mediator.
The Access Advantage exists because the gap between what the law requires and what organisations actually do isn't a knowledge gap, it's a translation gap. Most compliance guidance is written for lawyers. This is written for the people who have to implement it.
If you're responsible for customer experience, policy design, or staff training in sport, music, entertainment, or live events, this was built specifically for you.
