CIEDA has devised accreditation marks across four different certification
areas:
- he Inclusive Designer and their products/services
- Formal and Informal Learning Environments
- The Trainers who provide the courses and content
- nclusive environments and/or inclusive spaces themselves
Whilst certification and
accreditation is popular for sustainability and the
built environment there is nothing that provides a quality mark for inclusive environments and inclusive
design. CIEDA’s accreditation marks are designed to be challenging to gain and inherently contains a truly
aspirational quality that is often missing in existing sustainability marks which tend to be designed to
be
reasonable and achievable rather than to make a robust statement which people will recognise and aspire to
hold (and maintain). CSR or Corporate and Social Responsibility is often nothing more than a tick box
exercise and CIEDA’s accreditation marks are intended to provide a route to certification for those who
are
passionate about inclusion and tenacious in their desire to improve.

to be recognised for their inclusive design learning environments and syllabi.

CIEDA can also provide accreditation for the producers and trainers of
courses and learning content.

and inclusive spaces develops CIEDA recognises that the quality and effectiveness of the space needs a
way to be measured against National legislation and guidance. In addition, there needs to be a way for
people to recognise what an inclusive environment is offering them with only limited information often
available to them. CIEDA accreditation for inclusive
