We were pleased to connect via teams with our colleagues at RDT Architects for an Altro CPD session on Designing for Inclusivity.
A few of the statistics really surprised us and reinforced just how essential inclusive design is in education and beyond:
- 300+ languages are used by children in schools throughout the UK
- 20% of children use English as an additional language (EAL)
- 17% of children have special educational needs (SEN)
- 24% of the UK population has a disability — around 16 million people
- And around 80% of disabilities are hidden — approximately 13 million people
Thanks to Altro for this insightful presentation which will help us to ensure that we think about everyone when we are designing, communicating, and delivering projects.
