Disabled Access

 

About disabled access..

This page is a resource for Disabled People, the One Voice Access Group, and other people interested in accessible environments.

The built environment is one of the major things that disables us.

One Voice is committed to working to improve the physical environment for all disabled people.

Access Audits Pack

This pack has been put together to help disabled people and others to do access work.

You will find information and advice on doing access audits,
what you need in order to do an audit, the access needs of associated with various impairments, checklists, sample questionnaires, and design guides on toilets, lifts etc.
We want this pack to be easy for you to use, and to help you with anything you need to know in order to carry out an access audit.
It has been designed so that you can add new or updated pages as you wish.
All we ask is that you credit One Voice when you use it.
