The Accessibility Audit Service offered by the Jamaica Council for Persons with Disabilities (JCPD) is designed to assess and improve the accessibility of public and private spaces, ensuring that they are inclusive and accessible to persons with disabilities. This service aims to identify barriers whether physical, structural, technological, or communicative that hinder the full participation of persons with disabilities in daily life. The audit evaluates areas such as building entrances, pathways, restrooms, communication methods, and digital accessibility to ensure compliance with national and international accessibility standards. The goal is to foster an inclusive environment where persons with disabilities have equal opportunities and rights.
