In a busy school environment with pressing priorities, accessibility can easily slip down the list. But making sure your environment, provision and processes are accessible and inclusive for everyone matters, and it's one of the seven principles of inclusion your inclusion strategy must address when setting out how you plan to spend the inclusive mainstream fund (IMF).

Designed to support school leaders to audit their current approach and evaluate their strengths and next steps, this 19-page editable School Accessibility Audit template will walk you through the following key areas:

• Leadership and governance
• Curriculum and learning
• Communication and parent engagement
• School entrance and the outdoor school site
• Rooms, corridors and lighting
• Stairs and lifts
• Toilets and changing areas
• Fire exits
• Website and information sharing
• Equality adjustments 
  

Use the audit template collaboratively with key members of your team, such as your health and safety governor, premises caretaker or site manager, special educational needs and disabilities coordinator (SENDCo) and office staff to gather a picture of accessibility and inclusion in your school or college.

Once you've completed the audit, the template also includes a handy action plan, allowing you to document your plan for improving your facilities, processes and provision for all.
