Review our Access Assessment
We are asking people with an interest in lab access to read and review the proposed disability assessment for labs. We want to know if the assessment is asking about the right areas of access, whether it is the right level of detail, and whether there are any areas we have missed. We also want to understand if there will be any challenges for implementing this assessment e.g. training needed, provision of exemplar assessments etc.
Open to the Eastern Arc
DALE Interview
We need to interview people with experience of using the labs of the Eastern Academic Research Consortium Imaging Platform Alliance (University of East Anglia (UEA), University of Essex, University of Kent, and University of Sussex) or UEA’s New Science or Productivity East labs, who have an interest in disability access. We want to know how these facilities work for disabled people and for staff supporting disabled people using these labs.
Lab Access Assessment
We will assess the disability access of your laboratory and relevant spaces associated with laboratories e.g. corridors, stairs, break rooms, toilets, lifts, fire escapes, entrance foyers. You will be asked to show the DALE team members around and demonstrate how they are used by visiting researchers. The DALE team will use force gauges, light and sound meters, and 3D scanners to assess the facilities against a checklist.
