Access audit checklist
The access audit checklist has been developed to help housing landlords to identify barriers to accessibility. It covers both the approaches to and communal areas of housing blocks and estates, starting from the approach to the building to the dwelling front doors. This replicates the journey that residents and visitors will make.
The checklist has been created as an interactive PDF, allowing you to complete electronically, save and print. Alternatively the PDF can be printed and completed by hand.
