Posted By Neal Robertson To save me reinventing the wheel, can anyone help with an audit form for assessing needs for disabled visitors (NOT employees) to retail / public access areas ? With October 2004 looming any help appreciated.

Posted By Alan Parfrey The DDA is not merely about access for wheelcahir users and requires an in depth knowledge of user needs. I would reccommend that you employ an access consultant who is experienced in this area and who carries appropriate insurance for this highly specialised subject. I'd recommend CS2 - the coutries leading access consultants - one of them was involved in writing BS 8300 which is current best practice. Tel: 01604 646480 ask for Clair Parfrey. Hope this helps Alan Parfrey

Posted By Ken Taylor I have obtained all relevant publications from the Disability Rights Commission and the DfES and used the accessibility audit pro-formas from 'Access for Disabled People to School Buildings' (DfES Building Bulletin 91) - from the Stationery Office.

Posted By Neal Robertson Thanks to all who responded. I will be employing an external auditor for our main sites to assess all areas which are accessible to the public. They will consider all issues - mobility, sensory impairment, mental disability etc The audit forms I have received are to help me assess smaller, remote sites which do not have the volume of visitors or the complexity of our main site - thanks again to all those who contributed.
