About Us

Accessibility and Inclusive Learning Provider

About Access provides a variety of services concerned with accessibility and inclusive learning. As an access consultant, we provide outstanding training, audits and access statements for councils, workplaces and more. Our expert consultancy services and accredited practical advice ensures your business meets the Equality Act 2010 or the DDA.

Our accessibility and inclusive learning services range from the preparation of Design and Access Statements for new planning applications to audits of completed projects. Our training materials equip you with the knowledge to ensure you meet the regulations set out in the Equality Act and prevent things from going wrong.

We conduct courses for aspiring access auditors and we provide guidance for architects during the planning stages of new developments.

Instructing our services from the get-go is a much less time consuming and costly decision than dealing with the aftermath of things going wrong.

Our aim is to help companies and other organisations ensure that their premises are accessible, and their staff are properly trained and aware of the needs of disabled people and the business opportunities that can result from looking after them properly.

Leading Access Consultant

Our Managing Director; Ian Streets, is a member of the National Register of Access Consultants and the Access Association and as such works with BSI Standards, the UK’s national standards body, to advise on appropriate designs for buildings and their surrounding areas. We really care about accessibility and inclusion for all.

There is a growing realisation that some disabled people struggle to enter buildings and navigate with ease. While they have the same right as non-disabled individuals, our aim is to break this cycle, educate businesses and help improve accessibility for all.

About Access works with organisations of all sizes around the country and overseas in the public and private sectors, and on all property types from listed buildings to those still on the drawing board.

What our clients say…

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.
