Accessible university campus

I have joined partly to ask advice about whether there is a body, an association or institution who can help in assessing whether a new university campus has correctly considered the needs of disabled people when building it, and who may be able to bring pressure to bear in getting changes made if possible. Has anyone got any ideas about who I should contact?

    Hi @MelanieM, and a warm welcome to the community!

    I wonder whether our own Melanie, @melaniethorley, could point you in the right direction?

    Good morning @MelanieM. I suggest https://www.accessable.co.uk/

    They were previously called DisabledGo and many universities have used them to provide an accessibility audit.

    RIBA - Royal Institute of British Architecture  should have published guidelines.


    However, if it is a new campus, there are regulations about accessibility of buildings which should have been followed
