Why would I need a Disability Access Assessment or Disability Access Audit?
The Equality Act 2010 (EA) and the Disability Discrimination Acts (DDA) of 1995 to 2005 give important rights of access to everyday services to people with disabilities. To comply with the Acts service providers are obliged to make reasonable adjustments to their premises or to the way they provide the service to ensure their business is accessible to people with disabilities.
What is a Disability Access Assessment/ Disability Access Audit?
A DDA assessment or disability access audit is the most effective way to establish the impact that a building has on people with disabilities. It will also ensure that you are aware of all of your responsibilities and duties under the DDA.
A DDA access audit or DDA assessment follows a journey through your premises as would be taken by a disabled person, for example someone with a mobility or sensory impairment. It would examine the accessibility of your service, identify barriers, measure the ease of use and provide options for improvement. A disability access audit would also take into account the nature of your business and your budget, and take into account all aspects of the environment, property and service.
Who should carry out a Disability Access Assessment/Audit?
You can do this yourself but sometimes it is best left to the professionals.
