Inclusive design review
The Inclusive Design Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work published by the RIBA in 2023, states: ‘An inclusive design review, also referred to as an appraisal, is a desktop review of floor plans, drawings, details and specifications often captured as marked-up drawings with comments. An inclusive design review is undertaken by the Inclusive Design Lead in order to identify any inclusion and access barriers and highlight opportunities for improvement, as designs are being proposed and iterated throughout the RIBA work-stages. This evaluation will be undertaken against the regulations, standards and guidance as set out in the Inclusive Design Strategy. An inclusive design evaluation can be presented in a variety of formats, e.g., as part of the Inclusive Design Stage Outcome Review (end of RIBA Stage report) or presented in a meeting to the relevant teams to discuss the insights.’
