Transport Accessibility Monitoring Study: Report on Phase 1 Pilot

The NDA is responsible for producing Codes of Practice as requested by the Minister including the monitoring of compliance and implementation. We produced a statutory Code of Practice for the Accessibility of Public Services and commissioned work on developing an effective approach to monitoring public bodies’ compliance with this Code.

Transport was chosen as the first area to monitor. The tools developed will then be adapted for other sectors.

In the first phase of the monitoring we piloted a number of tools and approaches specifically in the area of transport to determine their feasibility for conducting a wider national monitoring and evaluation exercise.
