Disability Access Audit Service
The UK has made significant strides in improving accessibility for people with disabilities, but there is still much work to be done. One way to ensure that businesses, public services, and charities are meeting the needs of disabled people is through Disability Access Audits.
A Disability Access Audit is a review of a building, service, website or facility to identify barriers that may prevent people with disabilities from accessing it. This can include physical barriers in buildings, transport, communication and identifying areas where training is required.
The private sector, statutory sector, and voluntary sectors all have a responsibility to ensure that their services are accessible to everyone. For businesses, this is not only a legal requirement under the Equality Act 2010, but it also makes good business sense. By making your services accessible, businesses can tap into a market of over 14 million disabled people in the UK, who have a combined spending power of over £274 billion.
For public services, disability access audits are essential to ensure that everyone can access the services they need. This includes everything from healthcare to public transport. Without being able to access goods and services the impact on the quality of life of a disabled person is likely to be substantial.
Disability Access Audits can help organisations to identify areas where they can improve their accessibility. This can include simple changes such as installing a ramp or widening a doorway, as well as other possible changes such as redesigning a website or providing training for staff in Disability Equality and Awareness.
By working together to improve accessibility we can create a more inclusive and equal society for everyone.

So what happens to the funds we raise
delivering training and access audits
The charge that we levy for Training and Audit work is put directly to our charity to help us to contribute to the relief of life restrictions of disabled people in providing Aid, Assistance and Advice to Disabled People disadvantaged because of Social, Economic or Armed Conflict and Natural Disaster.
At present there is over 1 million disabled people in Scotland.
