Access Audits

Why have access audits ?

First, you can increase the quality of your provision and employment by identifying changes that enable disabled people to take part in the same way as others.

Second, you can reduce the risk of a case being taken against you under the Disabilities Discrimination Act (1995) and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Act (2001) through treating disabled people unfairly.

 

What do access audits consider ?

Accessibility

• How do disabled people get to your premises ?
• How do they get in ?
• How do they move around ?
• What facilities can they use ?
• How do they get out ?

Inclusion

• What activities can disabled people take part in ?
• What assistance can they get ?
• How are they treated by staff and other users ?

Information

• How do they to know about your provision or employment ?
• What information is available at your site ?
• How can they get their communication requirements met ?

What next ?

We start with a pre-audit interview to establish your current situation. We then work with you to carry out the audit using a team of auditors. After which we assist you to plan and prioritise the changes, and only the changes that make your provision and employment accessible to disabled people.

 

Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 

This act supports the rights of disabled people for fair treatment and service. You maybe unaware of where you stand. Or, whether or not you are at risk of being taken to court. An access audit is an essential contribution to understanding where you satisfy this act and where you must take action.
