Every public service office must be accessible, and usable, for all staff and visitors.
The focus is on encouraging staff to think of the organisation’s whole workable area as their workplace and providing them with the flexibility and choice to select a work setting that best suits their needs for any particular task.
Every office design or fit-out should encompass the widest possible range of ability, with as few barriers or constraints as possible. It may be difficult to achieve a truly universal design or fit-out because of the practical limitations of the building’s physical shape, equipment availability and cost, but any design or fit-out should aim to make the workplace accessible for and usable by all people including those with disabilities.
