Education Access Audits and Accessibility Plans

Direct Access bases recommendations on best practice guidance,  including BS8300: 2018 – Design of an accessible and inclusive built environment – Code of practice.

An exterior shot of the Almonry in Evesham; an old black and white medieval building on a sunny day. It has a charming brick stone roof and a slightly distorted "wavy" look from refurbishments. In front of it is a small but beautiful garden with a gravel walkway and a mixture of green yellow, and pink flowers.
