Total church access: let experts do the audit

Churches requiring an access audit need look no further than one of CRE’s longest-standing exhibitors.

MEB Design, exhibitors at the very first CRE in 1985, are now able to assess a building, an environ­ment or a service in terms of its accessibility and inclusivity – to ensure the protected characteristics identified by the Equality Act 2010 are not discriminated against. The audit identifies barriers to access and how to mitigate such barriers – a key part of any project and design process. The final report can assist with the development of an action plan to improve a building’s accessibility and inclusivity. 

‘We canhelp to develop and work with the client brief, offering advice on reasonable adjustments which are cost-effective and deliverable within an identifiable and accountable timescale,’ said MEB Design’s Maggie Forrester. ‘If this is an area we can help you with, or if you are unsure about next steps, we would be happy to have a conversation with you at CRE 25, to help you determine a course of action.’

MEB Design – with three offices in Kent, Oxford and South Bank, London – have recently used an access audit, as well as their heritage expertise, to facilitate the planning application for Putney Methodist Church (pictured).
