Disability Auditor

Disability auditor services for all sectors

At About Access we only work in the area of accessibility, we are not architects, surveyors or builders. This means our focus is 100% on access and disability, and there is no dilution of what we do.

When the word disability is mentioned, most people immediately think of someone in a wheelchair, but in reality, there are about 750,000 wheelchair users among a disabled population which is in the order of 11.2 million.

Impairments or disabilities can be split into two basic groups.

For example, people with memory, concentration or learning impairments are said to have a hidden impairment. Such conditions are not obvious when looking at a person, whereas someone with a mobility impairment has a visible impairment.

Our aim is to stop people being discriminated against. We work with disabled people, their representative organisations and statutory bodies to reduce the likelihood of disability discrimination and to provide an inclusive environment.

Our advice and disability auditor consultancy services are designed to influence businesses and organisations, whether they are dealing with colleagues or customers. We also provide guidance for a range of business professionals including:

  • Architects/designers/surveyors
  • Facilities/estates managers
  • Human resources for training of staff
  • Health and safety companies who are asked for access audits and don’t provide the service

Testimonials


    Very in-depth course with good resources to allow you to carry out an Access Audit.


    The online training has been the best I have seen and participated in as the content was of the highest quality for us all as users – a real portal of information and unlike face-to-face training we could go over areas of the training repeatedly as to create fuller understanding. The opportunities to access the facilitator were of a high professional standard, with online opportunities to question as you train and regular Zoom meetings. This was so helpful. This training is certainly accessible in these new challenging times and is highly recommended.


    As an architect I started the course pretty familiar with accessible design requirements. However, with Ian’s teaching I have gained a greater understanding of the disabilities and impairments we must design for and the belief that truly inclusive design goes beyond the legislative requirements.


    I thought the course was great. Really opened my eyes to the potential obstacles and issues that could arise. The content was delivered in a very straightforward and understandable manner.

    …having first reviewed your website which was clear and comprehensive I made contact. Your response time was swift and a competitive tender was received.


    I found your survey to be beyond my expectations, absolutely superb in terms of detail and quality of presentation.

  • We believe that the work we do and the clients we work for, say more about us than we could ever convey, so feel free to take a look at our case studies…
