EOC introduced the Universal Design Award Scheme (UDAS) in 2024/25
UDAS aims to promote the values of equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion in order to create an environment that is accessible and usable by everyone, regardless of age, ability and status in life.
The application of universal design principles in our built environment allows users with diverse needs to access different premises and enjoy the goods, services and facilities independently.
The EOC Universal Design Award Scheme 2024/25 Award Presentation Ceremony was successfully held on 1 November 2024 to recognise companies and organisations with outstanding performances and contributions in providing accessible built environments, thereby encouraging the wider adoption of universal design for all individuals.
The EOC has then compiled a set of Points to Note to showcase best practices and innovative approaches employed by the UDAS awardees in creating inclusive environments, along with recommendations to further enhance accessibility.
