The Disability Discrimination Act, 1995, particularly parts 2 and 3, effective December 1996 and October 1st 2004 respectively, have brought the accessibility of buildings and their environs into the consciousness of many. The moral imperative has now been given support in legislation and with this, matters concerning the access of 1:7 of the UK population to buildings, services, facilities and employment are a major consideration to all providers. |
|
Access audits are the only way to identify the issues for existing building/facility/service providers in relation to use by their patrons/customers/emloyees with disabilities. |
|
It is only proper that all facilities are as accessible to all as possible, and our range of specialist services in the field of accessibility is provided in order to offer you the highest quality advice based upon professional training, qualifications and years of relevant experience. |
|
To establish the service required by you and discuss your individual accessibility issues/concerns, do read through the following pages and telephone our office for further information. |
|
It must be remembered that a building or facility that maximises its accessibility to people with disabilities, also maximises its availability to all people whether they be related to the person with the disability, a friend, colleague or with no connection whatsoever. A fully accessible building/facility is friendly to everyone. It is welcoming and comfortable. It should be the idillic achievement to all designers, yet traditionally proves to be illusive. We can help to bring your goal, and a reasonable goal at that, to fruition. |
