This Disability Access Assessment examines the accessibility of your service, identifies barriers, measures usability and provides options for improvement. An access audit also takes into account the nature of your business, whilst looking at all aspects of the environment and service. The audit ensure you are not just doing a risk assessment for physical disability, not all disabilities are visible, and you may not be making the adjustments necessary to facilitate accessibility for those with hidden disabilities – especially if you only focus on wheelchair access.

The assessment includes a review of:

External Approach, Entrance and Reception, Horizontal Circulation, Internal Spaces and Rooms, Aids to Communication, Sanitary Facilities, Means of Escape and Evacuation, Signage & Information and Care Management.
