Can a disabled customer enter your building unaided and receive the same, or equal service as your other customers?
Have you made the “reasonable adjustments” to your services, that you are now required by law to have made in order to provide that service?

If you answered “no” or “don’t know” to any of these questions, consider an Access Audit of your premises now.

Employers

1. Access Audits
Have you made the necessary adjustments to your policies and procedures to meet your obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act to provide equal opportunities for disabled employees?
Do your premises reflect the policies and procedures, by providing an accessible working environment and accessible facilities for disabled employees?

If you answered “no” or “don’t know” to any of the above, an Access Audit will provide reassurance or make appropriate recommendations to help you meet your obligations.

2. Training
Are your staff aware of their responsibilities under the DDA when acting on your behalf: Do they have the tools and resources required to ensure that disabled customers get the same service as everyone else?
 

Are you prepared?
