Disability Strategic Planning

Accessibility Strategic Planners

The most effective way to approach the issue of disabled access is to build it into your organisation’s long-term plan, make it part of your culture.

Disability strategic planning is an essential part of business. Paying attention to loos and lifts, ramps and rails will make life less difficult for disabled people but the best way to make a real difference is to start at the top. If you get the strategy right from the start, then everything else should fall into place.

At About Access we can help you frame your plans to develop your organisation with disabled access in mind. The built environment will form part of the process, but we will also show you how to think at a higher level about how you are going to provide your services.

For example if you’re buying a shop you should have an access audit done on the building, but if you’re buying a chain of shops you should devise a strategy for all of them that is both comprehensive and cost-effective.

You might need a template or a check-list of guidelines that cover what you need now and what sort of modifications you might require in the future. It would cover buildings and people, because attitude and awareness are vital, and it would promote forward-thinking, helping to future-proof your business as legislation and facilities change.

What our clients say…

Testimonials


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


    Davina

    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.


    Louise Boyce

    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.


    Katie

    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.
