Inclusion champion
The Inclusive Design Overlay to the RIBA Plan of Work published by the RIBA in 2023, states: ‘For smaller sized simpler projects, an Inclusion Champion should be identified within the Client organisation and/or the Design Team, and would be responsible for raising standards of equality, access, and inclusion on the project. Their role on the project will be similar to that of a consultant; to monitor and advise on equality, accessibility and inclusion through all the RIBA Work Stages, but their knowledge and technical skills may not be as extensive as a trained professional.’
