Welcome - About Us

Welcome to the website of Equal Access Consultancy. This site is currently under review. Please come back regularly to find out more about what we do.

Equal Access Consultancy provides its services to anyone wishing to improve the chance for disabled people to play an equal part in society alongside their family, friends and colleagues.

There are around 11 million disabled people living in the UK. 3.5 million of these are in paid employment. Disabled people in the UK spend around £80 billion per year, which means they make a significant contribution to the country’s economy.

Our services have been developed from the point of view of the personal experiences and expertise of disabled people. We can provide professional and expert assessment, training, advice and support on the accessibility of your services and facilities to disabled people.

We can:

help you find reasonable and practical ways of ensuring that your facilities and services are user-friendly to disabled people
help your organisation to fulfill its legal obligations under the Single Equality Act
help broaden your potential customer base and recruitment opportunities
