Design and Access Statements are now an important recommendation for applications seeking building regulations approval. This seminar will answer many questions on this topic, including:

 

• What are Design and Access Statements, when should they be used, and what should they contain?
• How can they be used in conjunction with guidance such as the Approved Document to Part M (2004) and BS8300 to achieve accessibility and inclusion for all users, whilst maximising the opportunities for creativity and design freedom?
• What is the role of the client in providing an inclusive environment?
• What role does a statement play in the management of an environment when in use?
