Inclusive design consultant

The Inclusive Design Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work published by the RIBA in 2023, states: ‘Dependent on the size and complexity of the project, appointment of an Inclusive Design Consultant (sometimes known as an Access Consultant or Inclusive Environment Consultant) is required to ensure environments are designed to be accessible and usable for all people, regardless of their abilities, disabilities, gender, faith, and other protected characteristics. A specialist in the field of inclusive design; an independent Inclusive Design Consultant should be appointed at the earliest stages of a project to help define the Project Brief, set the Inclusive Design Strategy and provide specialist advice at each RIBA work stage to help design projects that are as inclusive as possible for everyone.’
