Accessibility Audits | Identify Physical and Everyday Barriers | Aideen Blackborough

Creating an inclusive environment starts with understanding the barriers that disabled people face. My accessibility audits provide a clear, practical look at both physical and everyday barriers – from building layout and signage to processes and ways of working that might unintentionally exclude people.

With lived experience of disability and years spent supporting schools, charities and organisations, I help you to identify what’s already working well, what needs improving and where small changes can make a big difference.

What an Accessibility Audit Involves

Every audit will start with a conversation about your space and environment, your people and what you would like to achieve.

I will then carry out an on-site walkthrough to assess:

• Entrances, routes and movement around the space
• Signage, layout and facilities
• Communication and staff interaction
• Practical and procedural barriers that affect day-to-day access
• Opportunities for simple, cost-effective improvements

You’ll receive clear, actionable recommendations – no jargon, no 40 page report that nobody reads. Just useful, realistic guidance you can start implementing straight away.
