About this title

Synopsis

Our buildings and environments should be inclusive to all, but how can we assess this? The Access Audit Handbook is an indispensable tool for auditing the accessibility of buildings and services. This book offers straightforward advice about undertaking access audits and explains how they make buildings, environments and services more inclusive. Following the audit, the book explains how each of the various report formats works best to communicate recommendations in the content of current legislation, funding requirements and best practice in building management. Well established as the best resource for conducting access audits, the third edition of The Access Audit Handbook is fully up to date with the latest legal and technical standards as well as developments in equipment and building maintenance. Featuring advice on:

• Commissioning an access audit
• Audit methodology
• Making recommendations
• Report writing

The practical guidance is supported by case studies, worked examples and checklists.
