Inclusive projects

3. Enhancing the delivery of inclusive environments

3.1 Three steps to success

3.1.1 Research has indicated that there are three distinct yet substantial steps that can be made to enhance the delivery of inclusive environments during development.

3.1.2 These are:

• incorporating inclusive environment principles into all stages of the project briefing process;
• successfully converting the project briefs into inclusive environments; and in support of these two steps:
• the appointment of an appropriately skilled Access Champion.

3.1.3 The next part of this guide provides a brief background to the development and project briefing processes and the key participants involved. The following part:

• describes the development process and the project briefing process;
• identifies the key participants and explains their respective roles;
• gives best practice advice on the preparation of project briefs;
• gives best practice advice on how the key participants in the development process (including the Access Champion) can convert the project briefs into inclusive environments; and
• describes how to locate an appropriately skilled Access Champion.
