SEND advice and guidance

Environment accessibility


  • Signage – clear, well positioned and easily visible
  • Steps, edges, pillars and other transition points highlighted
  • Handrails
  • ‘Tactile trails’
  • Different floor coverings for different areas of the school to indicate a change of environment.
  • Clear panels on doors, with appropriate markings, so people can be seen approaching from the other side
  • A distinction between quiet and active areas in the playground
  • Corridors, cloakrooms and classrooms kept free of obstructions
