This course is an ideal starting point for anyone interested in improving their knowledge and understanding around access and inclusive design in relation to the built environment. In a friendly and interactive online forum the course discusses the breadth and scope of access and inclusion while providing an overview of the relevant legislation including the Equality Act.
