" Diamond Interiors is committed to working with communities to create an accessible-friendly environment and promote understanding and acceptance .
We do believe that in terms of accessibility , there is still a long way to go especially within the U . K . There are still numerous reasons as to why accessibility within the workplace is inadequate — such as a lack of laws and regulations and a lack of enforcement , but most importantly public perception . We hope to help in this small way by putting accessible design at the forefront of our strategies and help drive meaningful change in accomplishing inclusivity .
WALK-THROUGH GUIDE FROM ENTRY TO EXIT
Consider Hidden Disabilities When creating a more inclusive office space , it is important to understand everyone ' s needs . Certain disabilities may not always be obvious but are just as important . The kind of support required for each condition will vary , but listening to and aiming to understand the needs of each disability can help you provide support for individuals every step of the way .
Parking and Building Accessibility The first step to making any office more accessible should be its exterior . Free disabled parking close to building entries and exits is crucial , allowing members of staff to comfortably navigate their commute to and from work . Disabled car parking spaces need wider and level space to ensure that individuals can easily and safely get in and out of their car .
Although each of our projects are important to us , we do particularly love serving our local community and conduct a lot of local projects , especially in the health care sector such as our refurbishment for the Hollinwood Medical Practice mentioned above ."
