MAKE READY

An inclusion lens for real sites

A respectful project leaves room for people to describe what works for them and to change or decline a task without penalty.

INCLUSION WALKTHROUGHAsk, do not infer

A person's appearance does not establish mobility, sensory, communication or participation needs.

Four practical commitments

Inclusion is a partner conversation and an ongoing site practice—not a badge the app can issue.

01

Invite lived input

Ask affected adults to review routes, task options, communication and likely friction points.

02

Keep choice visible

Offer different task intensities, seated contributions, quieter positions and permission to step back.

03

Protect the public edge

Preserve legible routes and boundaries for people who are not participating in the project.

04

Use responsible expertise

Follow venue owners, relevant standards and qualified advice for real accessibility decisions.

A useful walkthrough

Look beyond the centre of the task.

ARRIVE

Approach and entrance

Consider surface, gradient, gates, parking, public transport, weather exposure and the first point of orientation.

MOVE

Routes and transitions

Check width, clutter, crossings, rest points, lighting, noise and how a person exits without asking permission.

JOIN

Participation choices

Clarify task pace, lifting, tools, communication, breaks and alternatives before someone is placed in a role.

LEAVE

Handover and ordinary use

Return routes, seating, facilities and public areas to a state the responsible owner accepts.
