Working on policy and research

Our consultants are regularly involved with government, industry and disability organisations to formulate policy, strategy and standards. This keeps us at the cutting edge of current best practice and feeds directly into our consultancy advice.

We were a founding member of the National Register of Access Consultants (NRAC) and are actively involved in the Joint Committee on the Mobility of Blind and Partially Sighted People (JCMBPS) and the Access Association.

What have we done previously?

We have undertaken several large research projects on subjects such as shared space, tactile paving, signage, access to air travel and access to large passenger ships. This has involved working with organisations such as the Department for Transport, the former Disability Rights Commission, Transport for London, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and the Welsh Assembly Government.

What we're doing now

There are some areas of particular interest to us at the moment because of our strategic plans.

Please contact us if you are involved in policy or research across the following areas:

  • Transport
  • Real Time Passenger Information
  • Shopping
  • Shared services
  • Design of pedestrian environments
  • Wayfinding, GPS and innovative signage
  • Finance
  • ICT and mobile technologies
  • Consumer packaging
