We publish leaflets, posters, checklists, guidelines and information on access for specific projects and for training and were joint partners with Manchester City Council in the development of the Design for Access 2 Manual, Manchester City Council’s approved policy on inclusive design.

We were members of the Community Network for Manchester and facilitated the Disabled People’s Network and produced the Guidelines for Accessible Meetings and Events

We have produced Better Access: Image and Reality, funded by the European Year of Disabled People, which is a collection of images explaining good and bad practice in access design and standards.

We have also produced regularly updated Terminology Guidelines and Clear Print and Accessible Information Guidelines to assist with information and publicity.

We provided regular advice for Manchester and GMCA during Covid on accessibility including Simple Access Guidelines for Vaccination Centres still relevant for other vaccination programmes.

We also publish occasional newsletters and articles on access issues.
