Inclusive design audit

The Inclusive Design Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work published by the RIBA in 2023, states: ‘An inclusive design audit is an on-site inspection of a building (existing, mid-or post-build) or environment undertaken by the Inclusive Design Lead to establish the current access and inclusion provisions and barriers on site, at a given time. An inclusive design audit is typically presented as a report with images of the site, and supporting commentary outlining any opportunities for improvement with prioritised recommendations. This audit will be undertaken against the regulations, standards and guidance as set out in the Inclusive Design Strategy.’
