Code of Practice on Access and Mobility

An advisory document reflecting best practice and current statutory requirements for the design of buildings, structures, highways and transportation.

Acknowledgements
The Code of Practice was originally compiled and produced by Merseytravel and the five Merseyside Metropolitan Councils of Knowsley, Liverpool, St. Helens, Sefton and Wirral in February 1999. It was updated in 2001 and 2002 to take account of changes in legislation and good practice documentation. It has been made available on the web by SURFACE (Salford University Research Focus on Accessible Environments).
It is intended to update the Code of Practice on Access and Mobility every 6 months to reflect changes in better practice. The Steering Committee for the Code meets on a regular basis and will consider material for inclusion and decide what areas to update. Notice of areas that have been changed will be highlighted on this home page. An electronic discussion list has been created to allow people interested in developing new material for the Code of Practice to debate issues prior to publication and it is called Accesscode. Double clicking on the word Accesscode should take you to another page where you can apply to join this discussion list and to be involved in the Code of Practice on Access and Mobility, or you can contact Marcus Ormerod by e-mail at m.ormerod@salford.ac.uk.
