Short profile:
Access and Design help businesses and public organisations improve the accessibility of their premises and their service provision. We provide comprehensive reports on the present accessibility of premises, and suggest ways in which improvements can be made.
Our reports are tailored to meet your requirements and can be presented in a variety of formats to clearly show significant issues in order of priority.
Accessibility is an important issue. Nearly 10 million people in the UK are either registered disabled, elderly, or impaired by illness. In other words, as many as 1 in 4 people have a disability or are close to someone with a disability.
The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995
Disabled people of all ages are now protected in law and have the right to be free from discrimination. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 aims to end the discrimination that many disabled people face.
Detailed description:
Disabled people of all ages are now protected in law and have the right to be free from discrimination. The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 aims to end the discrimination that many disabled people face.
All organisations that provide goods, facilities or services to the public, whether paid for or for free, are covered by the DDA, no matter how large or small they are. They are obliged to make reasonable changes to ensure that disabled people have access to goods, facilities and services on an equal basis with other customers. Access and Design are experts in the field and can advise on what would be considered to be reasonable improvements for your particular premises.
