TABLE 7.

Key theme 4: Social.

Subtheme	Subcategory/code	Participant(s) responses
Personal assistance	Lack of policy provision	‘ … the question is who needs a personal assistant? … This is not clear in the policy.’ (P12)
	Assistance of persons with multiple disabilities	‘ … we also need to look at personal assistance for those with serious disabilities. If we have funds from the National Disability Council, we could take care of their needs more adequately.’ (P8)
Access to justice	Provision of evidence in court	‘ … in courts, most of the evidence is visual … you are told to touch your suspect when they know you cannot see. The legal system should provide other ways to assist visually impaired to provide evidence in court.’ (P6)
	Physical accessibility in courts	‘ … we had a case of a man on wheelchair who was in the gallery … could not see or be seen by the magistrate during the court case. Our court rooms are not accessible to persons on wheelchair.’ (P21)
	Inaccessibility to information	‘Both the National Disability Policy and NDC Act are not in Braille and neither are on recorded CDs, so this makes them inaccessible to people with visual impairments.’ (P10)
	Success of accessibility to information	‘When local language court interpreters have court cases for the deaf, we usually call a sign language interpreter.’ (P6) ‘The National Federation for the Visually Impaired have Brailled a lot of copies for UNCRPD but nothing for other policies ….’ (P10)
