Or does the Cert cover the full gamut of disabled persons requirements, i.e. contrasting floor coverings for steps and ramps, high resolution large notice writing for the partially sighted?
ONQ.
While the DAC’s does not say it, You have to show how you are going to provide provisions for all types of disabilities and not just just access and people movement.(Otherwise you’ll end up with a set of conditions telling you to to provide them)
While Part M does not make reference to it, you still need to consider tonal contrast, accessible toilet / changing facilities, hearing enhancement systems, type of floor surfaces.
What you are providing is an Access Statement as to how people with disabilities will use the building and what provisions have been provided to ensure they use the building without the assistance of others.
