Design For Everyone is an Access Consultancy that can help your design, project, scheme or business be as inclusive as possible.
Inclusive Design is a specialism that focuses on the end user. The British Standards Institute (2005) defines inclusive design as: "The design of mainstream products and/or services that are accessible to, and usable by, as many people as reasonably possible ... without the need for special adaptation or specialised design."
Engaging with the potential end user at the earliest possible stage in the design process is one key element in achieving an inclusive design. Another is identifying any potential barriers to people interacting and using the product, service, scheme etc and design reviews are one way of identifying and removing any barriers to inclusion where some people can feel excluded or literally locked out.
