The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) is about to have a dramatic impact on the way millions of businesses and organisations deliver their goods and services to people with disabilities. And whilst service providers may be keen to address their obligations under this legislation, for many the task of identifying just what they need to do and how to go about doing it, could prove to be a daunting one.
Recognising these challenges, Good Access Guide has developed strategic partnerships
with a number of UK manufacturers, and suppliers of access products to assist
service providers to effect reasonable adjustments as required in accordance
with the DDA. The result is Good Access UK, a developing national network
of service agents delivering appropriate and cost effective access, training
and equipment solutions right across the country.
So, if you are looking to improve the way you serve the needs of ALL customers,
we have the solutions and the team to help.
Check out our range of services below.
Access Audits and appraisals
For most service providers an access audit is the starting point for a planned
programme of access improvements and adjustments. We offer a comprehensive
range of tailored auditing services.
Disability Equality and DDA Training
Achieving inclusive access will almost certainly mean effective staff equality
training. We can tailor training solutions to suit the needs of most service
providers.
Auxiliary Aids and Equipment
Since 1st October 1999, service providers have been obliged to provide auxiliary
aids and services to assist disabled people to access their goods or services.
We offer a wide range of quality products at very competitive prices.
Adjustments to
the built environment
By 1st October 2004 service providers will have had to have made “reasonable
adjustments” to the physical features of their premises to overcome
the barriers to access faced by disabled people. We can facilitate permanent
and semi permanent access solutions to address these obligations.
Website
design
There are three very good reasons for having an accessible website: The law
says you should. Websites are classed as a service under the Disability Discrimination
Act, it makes good business sense and it's morally the right thing to do. We
can carry out a Website Accessibility Audit on your existing site – enabling
you to plan your path to compliance with the DDA. The audit details the problem
areas, who they effect and ways to remedy them. To find out if your website
needs an audit apply
