Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

It is critical that building owners and managers, facilities managers and those commissioning and designing new buildings (and works to existing ones) consider the implications of the Disability Discrimination Act. Knowledge of access audits and access management will be a vital factor in determining how well this can be done and will allow a more effective response to the new legal requirements.

The new British Standard on access to buildings (BS 8300), to which Keith Bright contributed, will be the standard used by Courts when deciding whether 'reasonable adjustments' have been made.

Includes index.
