Purpose: To evaluate the level of accessibility and safety of an existing water and/or sanitation facility and its surrounds, and to identify possible changes or improvements.
Diversity message: Simple changes to facilities and their surrounds can improve their usability for a wide range of users, thus avoiding the need for separate ‘special’ provision.
Safety message: To consider any risks to safety from using the facilities and to consider if anything can be done to reduce the risks.
Engineering message: Users can provide information to technicians on whether a facility performs its intended function, for the intended users. This can contribute to design improvements.
Materials needed: Accessibility audit of latrines/ school latrine/ water point; resources about inclusive design, standards and approaches (see Resources list below).
Time needed: 3 – 5 hours.
