Consultancy > Accessibility Audits
Following best practice and meeting your obligations under the Equality Act (or relevant country disability laws) may prevent you facing a legal challenge for non-compliance. But if you’re not sure where to start, our qualified NRAC Certified Consultants will help.
Our access audits fully evaluate your premises or environment to check all provisions for disabled access are in place. Using their trained eye and first-hand experience of disability issues, our Consultants offer practical, professional advice on overcoming a wide range of physical barriers and ensuring access for all.
True inclusion and accessibility means considering hundreds if not thousands of combinations of physical, emotional, and mental abilities that are unique to every individual – involving not only our dexterity and mobility, but our constitution, sensitivity to noise, sensitivity to light, our ability to use one or more of our five senses, and much more.
Each audit produces a detailed report that prioritises recommendations according to your country’s legal and benchmarking standards and includes a clear, achievable action plan to improve access immediately. We collaborate closely with your team to identify cost-effective solutions, monitor progress, and ensure outcomes are measurable and sustainable.
True inclusion and accessibility considers hundreds—if not thousands—of combinations of physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities unique to every individual. It encompasses not only mobility and dexterity but sensitivity to noise and light, the use of one or more senses, and a wide range of physical and mental variations. By applying and teaching these principles, Direct Access enables you to create spaces that are genuinely welcoming, usable, and inclusive for everyone, while maximising operational efficiency and user satisfaction.
Complying with the Equality Act, or equivalent disability legislation in your country, is essential, but compliance alone does not define true accessibility. At the forefront of best practice, our NRAC Accredited Consultants don’t just advise; we implement, demonstrate, and teach organisations how to embed accessibility into every aspect of their operations.
Our rigorous access audits go beyond checking boxes. We systematically evaluate your premises and environments, identifying physical and sensory barriers and offering practical, professional solutions informed by real-world experience.
Leveraging world-leading accessibility standards, we deliver innovative, industry-leading insights that improves your organisation’s relationship with your entire audience, not only for those with disabilities.
By partnering with us, you gain more than a compliance checklist. You gain a proven methodology, practical guidance, and the confidence to transform your spaces so that accessibility becomes a strength and a differentiator that brings wider attention to your brand, happier staff and team members, and the ability to access the Purple Pound (the combined spending power of disabled people in the UK, which is worth £274 billion.
We empower your team to apply inclusive standards independently, ensuring lasting, inclusive change across your organisation.
