Abstract
This article is based on an NBS-sponsored webinar by Jane Simpson, Managing Director at Jane Simpson Access and NBS Technical Author Astrid Lund. It explores incorporating inclusive design into your projects and how the RIBA Plan of Work 2020 aids in creating successful project specifications. We are highlighting it as a precursor to an upcoming CIS Insight that expands on inclusivity by exploring social equity and human-centred design.
