I welcome this guidance which should enable people to understand access requirements and to undertake access audits... The law is important but how much better if those organisations simply did it right in the first place so the law did not need to be used. This book should help do just that. Bert Massie, Chairman of Disability Right Commission UK

· Building Regulations: approved document to Part M (2004)
· The Planning and Compulsory Purchases Act 2004
· British Standards: amendment and updating of BS8300
The authors have also updated the material on access auditing, providing additional examples and sample access audit reports and access statements can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.com/theaccessmanual.
With its comprehensive information on standards, legislation and good practice, the manual will make sure you can:
