WALK & TALK AUDITS
If time and budget do not allow for a thorough Access Audit, our Walk & Talk Service can support you in gaining onsite accessibility advice for you to put into practice.
Our Access Advisor can visit your premises and conduct a site visit with you, covering all key areas of the site including entrances, toilet facilities, public areas and fire escape routes as well as external areas of the property. We will give feedback on all accessibility aspects of your business and help you to prioritise any action points that would greatly improve inclusivity and improve and support your Access Statement.
