USING THE ACCESS CHECKLISTS - STEPS When completing the checklists for any service it is helpful to bear in mind the following questions: • To what extent is this service provided to the public? • Who are the users of the service? • To what extent are people with disabilities, their families and carers users or potential users of this service? Each public authority will decide how often they wish to assess the accessibility of services. However, it is recommended that high public usage services are audited on a regular basis. Access assessments can be conducted in conjunction with any existing reviews of services and facilities such as annual inspections. The major results from the checklists can be incorporated into planning documents and annual reports prepared by public authorities. The following steps are suggested when assessing your services: STEP 1: Nominate Co-ordinator Ideally the access assessment should be coordinated by the committee or individual who has responsibility for overseeing the implementation of your Disability Service Plan. STEP 2: List Services List all in-house and contracted services provided by your organisation. The list of services identified in your Disability Service Plan will provide a useful resource when identifying services. STEP 3: Select Services Rank the services identified in Step 2 according to the level of public involvement. Services that are most frequently used by the public or that significantly impact on people with disabilities should be given the highest priority.

USING THE ACCESS CHECKLISTS - STEPS STEP 4: Identify Resources Identify any staff and or financial resources required for administering the checklists. Identify a proposed timeline for the access assessment. The checklists may be administered by one or more staff. It is important however that all staff administering the checklists are given copies of the sections People With Disabilities and Planning for Access and Using the Access Checklists before commencing assessment. STEP 5: Planning Access Assessment In conducting your assessment of access you may wish to assess services individually, by groups of services, or by programs. It is important to identify the components of the service to be assessed to that the relevant checklists are used. STEP 6: Complete Checklists During this step the person(s) responsible for assessing the accessibility of the nominated service category will need to complete the relevant checklists. The checklists should preferably be completed in the following order: • Buildings and Facilities • Access to Information • Staff Access Awareness • Public Participation • Adapting Services.
