Estates and Buildings Presentation - PowerPoint version.
University of Kent Access Statement
This is an example of a guidance note that has been produced to demonstrate the particular University’s commitment to ensuring that the estate is both open and accessible to all. It is not in itself specific to any one development, requiring that an access statement is prepared for each refurbishment and development project. This should on larger schemes entail the appointment of an access consultant and on smaller schemes be prepared by the University’s own staff or consultants. This document is intended to be a guide to some of the key areas that should be considered when producing an access statement.
