Delivering inclusion by design
CAE is an award-winning inclusive design consultancy and one of the UK’s leading authorities on accessibility and the built environment. Our mission is to create places, spaces and services that can be accessed, understood and enjoyed by the widest range of people by embedding inclusive design throughout the planning, design, construction and management of the built environment.
Our accredited access consultants work collaboratively with clients, architects, developers, engineers and multidisciplinary design teams to deliver practical, evidence-based solutions that remove barriers and create environments that are equitable, intuitive and welcoming. We combine technical expertise with meaningful stakeholder engagement to support projects of every scale, from individual buildings to major regeneration schemes. Through research, technical guidance, publications, professional training and active participation in national standards and industry groups, we remain at the forefront of inclusive design.
Our Inclusive Design Principles
Our work is guided by four key principles:
- Putting people at the heart of the design process
- Recognising diversity and the full range of human variation
- Creating intuitive environments that promote equity of use and remove barriers
- Designing welcoming places where everyone can participate and belong
