An access audit is an ideal starting point when beginning to develop your service access plan or strategy, an essential tool when trying to ensure you act reasonably. Access audits are designed to make you aware of all your Equality Act / old DDA responsibilities and options. As well as the obvious ethical and PR benefits of an accessible service, an audit will help you save time and money by making the most of existing and future revenue as well as by accessing new income from a market place that you may have previously been missing out on.

If your service or budget is smaller, then why not consider our walk and talk service or alternatively purchasing our guide to accessibility, which may provide a very cost affective and useful aid in undertaking your own brief access review?

The old Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) defines a disabled person as someone who has a physical or mental impairment that has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.

For the purposes of the Act:

• Substantial means neither minor nor trivial.
• Long term means that the effect of the impairment has lasted or is likely to last for at least 12 months (there are special rules covering recurring or fluctuating conditions).
• Normal day-to-day activities include everyday things like eating, washing, walking and going shopping. Source - www.direct.gov.uk
