Access Audits

DWAL access audits are carried out by professionals representing the views of people with different impairments. The audit is undertaken and produced by a trained disabled auditor with a common-sense and proportionate approach, and an understanding of the term 'reasonable'.

In assessing the accessibility of an environment, its facilities and any services delivered from it, DWAL will take into account all existing and prospective users (service users and employees). It will consider any potential barriers to overall access and recommend ways of overcoming them.

Carrying out the audit comprises a series of tasks which typically commence with briefing/data gathering, followed by a detailed site survey, consultation with building users and the preparation of a written report to record and communicate the outcome of the audit.
