How we check travel and access information

Roam Pal helps you plan, but it never turns a partial fact into an access promise.

We start with the place

We prefer current information from the venue, operator, transport provider or responsible public body. Independent access surveys and disabled travellers’ experience can add useful context, but we keep their role clear.

We keep claims within scope

A step-free café, pier or viewpoint does not make a whole mountain, lake or town accessible. Each note should say which route, facility, service or visit it actually describes.

We show uncertainty

When something has not been checked, has changed, or depends on the day, vessel, tide, staffing or individual need, we say so. “Not yet checked” does not mean inaccessible.

We date and recheck

Source and review dates are retained with access evidence. Automated checks can identify changes and broken links, but material accessibility claims still need appropriate review before they are promoted.

Automation stays in its lane

Where we use automated or AI-assisted tools, they help find sources and flag changes or broken links. They do not approve or publish material access, price, opening-time or companion-ticket claims on their own. Those claims need evidence and appropriate review.

You remain in control

Conditions change. Use Roam Pal as a planning starting point, then confirm the details that matter to you directly with the provider before travelling.
