Today the Women and Equalities Select Committee have published their report, Building for Equality: Disability and the Built Environment.
The report says the Government “must act to lead the charge in improving access and inclusion in the built environment. This should include public procurement, fiscal initiatives and transparently modelling best practice – and bringing the full range of work on improving access and inclusion in the built environment into a coherent and transparent strategy, with the Department for Communities and Local Government held responsible for making this happen.”
Zara appeared on Channel 4 news to discuss the report and the state of the built environment in the UK today. Watch the report on Channel 4 here.
