The [https://www.gov.uk/government/policies/creating-a-lasting-legacy-from-the-2012-olympic-and-paralympic-games/supporting-pages/paralympic-legacy Built Environment Professional Education] (BEPE) project was launched on 3 December 2013, the International Day of Disabled People.

It was inspired by the Paralympic Legacy Advisory Group and is intended to build on the work showcased at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which was seen as an exemplar project for inclusive design in the built environment.

Almost 20% of the UK population are disabled, that is around 12 million people, and the so-called disability ‘purple pound’ is worth £80 billion to the British economy.

The government defines inclusive design and ‘…a process that ensures that all buildings, places and spaces can be easily and comfortably accessed and used by everyone.’ [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/2010-to-2015-government-policy-2012-olympic-and-paralympic-legacy/2010-to-2015-government-policy-2012-olympic-and-paralympic-legacy#appendix-6-paralympic-legacy Ref Gov.uk Policy paper 2010 to 2015 government policy: 2012 Olympic and Paralympic legacy].

The London 2012 Olympic Park included accessible routes, accessible public transport, a games mobility scheme, and the work of numerous volunteers. Analysis found that that 59% of disabled visitors were positive about overall access in London.

The BEPE project aims to ‘…make inclusive design a key part of education and training for all built environment professionals.’

Mark Harper, Minister of State for Disabled People in 2014 and 2015 said, “It will increase skills and knowledge in inclusive design and will produce architects, planners, surveyors and engineers of the future who will have the competence and desire to put accessibility and inclusion at the heart of their projects. This will help to make social and physical inclusion the norm in all development projects”

The BEPE is overseen by a Project Board chaired by ex-government Chief Construction Adviser Paul Morrell, and including senior figures from the built environment professions. It originally reported to the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), with the support from the Greater London Authority (GLA) but on 18 April 2016, it was announced that the Construction Industry Council (CIC) would take it over.

The Construction Industry Council (CIC) was established in 1988 to provide a forum for professional bodies, research organisations and specialist business associations in the construction industry. These member organisations give the CIC a ‘collective membership’ of 500,000 professionals.

CIC plans for the BEPE include a new Award of Awards for exceptional and inspired inclusive design in the built environment to be presented at the Construction Industry Summit Dinner

CIC chairman Tony Burton said: “Inclusive design that creates truly accessible and inclusive built environments for everyone in society, including the disabled, the elderly and families with small children, has to be the industry’s ambition, and embedding inclusive design into built environment education is an important step towards that goal. Our efforts now will benefit generations to come and add value to our buildings, places and public spaces in the long term. Let industry make this its legacy.”
