THE ACCESS TO ALL GOLD STANDARD FRAMEWORK

Authentic Lived Experience Certification & Asset Verification

The Access to All Gold Standard is the UK’s premier independent accessibility certification built on authentic lived experience risk management. Unlike generic checkbox codebook assessments executed from a standing height, our certification guarantees that a commercial environment has been rigorously evaluated and verified by a full time wheelchair user with 25 years of daily navigation experience.

Achieving this certification proves to your consumers, legal teams, and stakeholders that your asset has moved beyond basic statutory paper compliance to achieve real world, uncompromised independent passenger and pedestrian flow.

THE 3 PHASE CERTIFICATION PIPELINE

Phase 1: The Lived Experience Asset Audit & Risk Mapping 
An organization cannot simply purchase our certification. It must be earned through a rigorous on site asset sweep under our standard commercial project tiers.
Tier 1 Localized Site Audits 
 A comprehensive design, layout, and checkout sweep of an active single site hospitality, commercial retail, or leisure footprint.
Tier 2: High Acreage & Multi Terrain Sweeps
An end to end journey mapping contract covering sprawling multi terrain outdoor plots, complex transit terminals, or multi building corporate footprints.
Deliverable
 Access to All issues a proprietary Photographic Hazard Schedule mapping critical operational bottlenecks, 15mm castor traps, poor payment terminal screen angles, and airlock door tensions.

Phase 2 : Structural Rectification & Verification

Following the delivery of the risk report, the client enters a standard verification window to achieve Gold Standard status:
Engineering Fixes: 
The client addresses the critical physical and interface liabilities identified in the Hazard Schedule.

Frontline Operational Training: Frontline team leaders, safety marshals, store managers, or service crews undergo our Tier 3 Lived Experience Awareness Training (£650.00 per session) to eliminate illegal Special Assistance refusals and secure safe boarding/extraction etiquette.

Verification Sign Off: 

Access to All conducts a final review to verify that all real world operational bottlenecks have been completely eradicated.

Phase 3 : Annual Certification Renewal & Continuity

Accessibility is a continuous compliance asset, not a one time event. Physical environments shift, tarmac degrades, and staff turnover introduces new brand risks under the Equality Act 2010 :
Annual Re Audit Walk: 
The Access to All Gold Standard Certificate is valid for exactly 12 months from the date of issuance.
Mandatory Renewal Walkthrough:
 To maintain active certification status and display the official badge, assets undergo a yearly renewal walkthrough to evaluate path settlement cracks, updated digital checkout heights, and new equipment configurations.
COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGES OF THE GOLD STANDARD BADGE
