Guidelines' Aim
The aim was to create a set of documents that would provide a pragmatic and useful guide on to how to create an accessible lab workplace. We wished to accumulate relevant guidelines for lab contexts, edit them for relevancy, expand them in order to be as comprehensive as possible, and share them with the scientific community. The guidelines are mostly created from previously published work, which we cite.
We wanted to provide guidelines for the whole of the lab work ecosystem, and to consider all types of impairments and disabilities.
We identified a key guideline or two at the start of the creation of each of our guidelines. This would then be combined with information from other guidelines, data from the survey and case studies, and combined with the team’s lived expertise to allow us to provide comprehensive guidelines with exemplars of implementation solutions across a range of settings and impairments.
Comments and Corrections
We welcome comments and corrections on these guidelines that will allow us to enhance the next version’s quality and relevancy. If you have suggestions for changes, please email Dr Katherine Deane
