INCLUSIVE DESIGN

The way places are designed affects our ability to move, see, hear and communicate effectively.

 

Inclusive design is about designing places that everyone can use and aims to remove the barriers that may create undue effort and separation.  

​

It enables everyone to participate equally, confidently and independently in everyday activities.
