Welcome to the Learning Resources section of the website

Here you can access information and advice on a range of topics that will enable your access group to offer your an effective service. This section is split into five topics:

• Legislation – an overview of the principal legislation with which your group should be familiar

• Building and development processes – an summary of how building and development processes work in England and Wales at a local and national level

• Design guidance – a handy online guide to creating an accessible environment through good design

• Assessing the built environment – tips to help your group access existing environments and proposed developments

• Glossary – an summary of the main terminology access groups may encounter in their work

As well as providing essential information about specific areas, each section contains links to further guidance so that you can explore an issue in more detail.

We want to regularly update and build on this information, so if you have information and guidance that you think should be included, please let us know.
