Consultancy
The Access Team provide consultancy services to help service providers and building professionals identify barriers and hazards to access for people with disabilities. We provide pragmatic, cost effective recommendations from a pan-disability approach.
To assist both service providers and disabled people, the Team offer the following:
- Access Audit - this service offers a comprehensive audit, which assesses the extent to which an existing building satisfies current legislative standards, and highlights the ways that simple changes may improve accessibility.
- Plan Appraisal – this service provides an appraisal of design proposals assessing the accessibility of the proposed development.
- Access Action Plan – this service provides technical advice and information on how to implement proposed changes into an effective operational plan.
- Audit Appraisal – this can be carried out to help ensure that the completed work meets with the recommendations of the Access Audit.
- Research – the Access Team undertake research projects tailored to the needs of a client or interest group.
