Welcome to Clancy's Access-Ability consultancy, we are here to help you with improving accessibility to your business whether that is buildings, housing stock, public spaces including parks and countryside or public transport to help make it easier for yourself, staff and customers from the disabled and elderly communities and parents with young children to access your place of business as easily and with as few barriers as possible.

We will first carry out an accessibility audit to see if there are any problems and come up with solutions that work for your business and go beyond the disability discrimination act '95 and equality act 2010 minimum standards ensuring your business meets the access requirements of the largest amount of clients possible, this will be done by the business founder Lisa who has over 40yrs lived experience of living with a disability and overcoming access issues. She has also done some consultation work with Essex county council parks department on Belhus country park and woodland trust in the past advising them on how to make land like Belhus Chase more accessible to all of the community, Lisa has also taken staff from Thurrock Councils Design Charettes team round areas, to make them aware of problems in the area and possible solutions and worked with the team for Aveley Community Hub whilst it was in the building stage to make it as accessible as possible including getting a fully accessible toilet facility with a hoist and adult changing table included in the design.

We can either work with your builders and equipment installers or help you source the right people to do the work to a high standard.

We also offer negotiable rates for working with charities.

Our History

The concept of the company started with myself my parents and brother often having discussions around the dinner table, after going to different places and myself and my brother and mum at the time all ambulatory wheelchair users struggling to access places or just not being able to get in or being turned away from places during the 80's and 90's. Our parents were the driving force behind us both being as independent as we could possibly be even with the limitations on access, even after the Disability Discrimination Act '95 and Equality act 2010 came into effect things didn't change very much for a large portion of the disabled and elderly communities as far as accessibility to a lot of places, as the minimum standards unfortunately do not always make places accessible or useable for many both in the disabled and the elderly community or parents with young children.
