Access Audits -                      The Equality Act



Ensure that your workplace is welcoming and compliant with an expert access audit that will define the “reasonable adjustments” you should make

The Equality Act 2010 requires employers, service providers, educational and other qualifying bodies to make reasonable adjustments to their premises and environment, and to provide auxiliary aids as necessary for people with disabilities.
What a “reasonable adjustment” is will depend on the different circumstances of each business and each building, as well as the cost of the proposed adjustment itself. In terms of future developments, service providers certainly need to think ahead and address the potential barriers to people with disabilities using their services. 

One way to identify those barriers is to carry out a building access audit.

At Elementus, we have a team of NRAC registered Access Auditors, able to provide you with an independent viewpoint and impartial advice. Our consultants are familiar with a wide range of environments, as well as the legal situation (e.g. the landlord/tenant relationship). They can deliver clear, concise yet detailed reports, specific to your situation, your issues and your obligations.

Our consultants can also advise on the use of our online system “Assurity” to allocate actions and view real time information on the progress of those tasks.

Elementus Access Audit services include:


  • Strategic level access audit management reviews
  • Access policies / access statements
  • Access audits
  • Equality and diversity training
  • Inclusivity and accessibility training
