CAE is part of Habinteg Housing Association with a shared mission is to drive greater accessibility and inclusion of buildings and environments so that disabled people have choice and control over daily life and are fully included in society. For over 50 years, CAE has lead thinking on inclusive design in the UK and pioneered the idea of technical accessibility guidance based on research conducted collaboratively with disabled people. Our clients include corporate organisations, public sector, cultural and heritage organisations, making us one of the leading providers of access consultancy and training in the country.
CAE’s services include access consultancy, and a wide range of bespoke and public training courses from introductory inclusive design awareness, to more in-depth technical access standards.
CAE also supports the next generation of access talent through its Pathways programme, along with London charities through its Access and Sustainability Advisory Service (ASAS).
