We are proud to share that the Finance-developed Property Accessibility Assessment Tool (PAAT) recently won the 2025 Corporate Collaborators award at the Public Sector Neurodiversity Excellence Awards.
The award recognises the Property Policy and Strategic Communications team’s efforts advancing neuro-inclusion within the public sector, and the potential of the tool to influence accessibility practices both across and beyond the public service.
The PAAT is a practical checklist to create workplace environments that accommodate diverse sensory and cognitive needs, in additional to physical accessibility needs.
Traditionally, accessibility standards have focused on physical disabilities, often leaving out sensory and cognitive differences experienced by neurodivergent people. The PAAT encompasses universal design principles and intends to go beyond compliance to promote true inclusion.
You can read more about the PAAT and how to implement it in your workplace via the Property Accessibility Assessment Tool page on our website.
