NRAC

The National Register of Access Consultants was established in 1999 and is an independent register of accredited Access Auditors and Access Consultants who meet professional standards and criteria established by a peer review system. It is currently the only UK-wide accreditation service for individuals who undertake access auditing and access consultancy.  All members of the NRAC (Members) are required to adhere to a Code of Practice, hold professional indemnity insurance and undergo annual continuing professional development.

The NRAC is a resource for those seeking professional advice on how to make improvements to the built environment in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Acts 1995 and 2005.  The NRAC was set up at a time when there was a growing concern that poor advice was being offered to private and commercial clients by people who were neither qualified nor experienced in the field of accessible buildings.  This poor advice resulted in many examples of expensive and inappropriate alterations being made to buildings that did little or nothing to assist disabled people.
