Access Auditing College engaged an access consultancy (Configure) in July 2008 to carry out access audits of the built environment throughout College premises. All of these audits have now been completed. Consultation and communication Implementation plans should be developed in consultation with people with disabilities via the Universal Access Steering Committee set up in November 2013 as a result of three projects (Fitzgerald, Moyne and Samuel Beckett) being forwarded to Executive Officers Sub group CRG. College should put in place structures to monitor and review the progress of their Universal Access Implementation Plans and yearly progress reports should be prepared. A website has been developed houses all access audits and implementation plans, this will enable building users and owners to view information and take ownership of issues that will allow for implementation to be taken seriously at all levels in College. In addition, building owners i.e. Heads of Schools, Deans of Faculties and heads of Administration have been informed of audits relating to their buildings and that when any works are proposed implementation plans are considered so accessibility issues are given priority. Prioritisation Methodology In relation to prioritisation, principles include the level of usage within a building or service area, the views of representative groups, the fit, or coherence, with College’s budgetary position and other local circumstances.
