A Direct Access consultation event is an opportunity for communities to actively shape accessible environments. Whether a project involves a new build or a refurbishment, gathering input from those with lived experience of disability ensures that accessibility considerations are embedded from the earliest stages of design.

These events are held across a wide range of settings, from museums and schools to shopping centres and restaurants. By participating, disabled individuals provide insights that help us identify potential barriers, test practical solutions, and bring every project up to best-practice accessibility standards.

Our team, many of whom have personal experience with disability, facilitates these events with direct, open communication, often working alongside local disability organisations to ensure every voice is heard. Attendees can contribute their expertise without needing any prior knowledge, while we guide the process and translate feedback into actionable improvements.

Most consultation events include refreshments and a welcoming environment, making it easy to engage and share your perspective. To find out if a Direct Access consultation event is happening in your area, simply contact us, we handle the planning, coordination, and follow-up, so your input directly shapes the accessibility of your community spaces.
