1: Free Access Checklist Tool
This checklist provides guiding questions for smaller service providers to review their accessibility. And remember that the DDA stipulates only that you act reasonably - this means taking into account issues such as finance, size and the nature of your business.
Please note this checklist does not constitute a DDA Access Audit and should be used alongside appropriate further guidance such as our Guide to Accessibility or Part M of the Building Regulations. It is strongly advised that wherever possible a full access audit is completed by a qualified DDA Auditor with relevant experience.
