These guidelines apply to both new-build and retrofit projects to ensure that all settings are accessible, understandable and easy to use for all children, staff, families and visitors. A literature review and self-audit tool are also available to help settings begin the process of assessing improvements they want to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organisations involved in researching and writing the guidelines include; Early Childhood Ireland, Trinity Haus and Mary Immaculate College, DCEDIY and the National Disability Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Universal Design Guidelines for Early Learning and Care Settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Is oth linn nach bhfuil leaganacha Gaeilge de na hacmhainn\u00ed seo ar f\u00e1il.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aim.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/universal-design-guidelines-for-elc-settings-introduction-1.pdf\">Universal Design Guidelines for ELC Settings \u2013 Introduction<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aim.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/universal-design-guidelines-for-elc-settings-section-1-site-location-approach-and-design.pdf\">Universal Design Guidelines for ELC Settings Section 1 \u2013 Site Location, Approach and Design<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aim.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/universal-design-guidelines-for-elc-settings-section-2-entering-and-moving-about-the-early-learning-and-care-setting.pdf\">Universal Design Guidelines for ELC Settings Section 2 \u2013 Entering and Moving about the Early Learning and Care Setting<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/aim.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/universal-design-guidelines-for-elc-settings-section-3-key-internal-and-external-spaces.pdf\"><strong>Universal Design Guidelines for ELC Settings Section 3 \u2013 Key Internal and External Spaces<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aim.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/universal-design-guidelines-for-elc-settings-section-4-elements-and-systems.pdf\">Universal Design Guidelines for ELC Settings Section 4 \u2013 Elements and Systems<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aim.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/universal-design-guidelines-for-elc-settings-self-audit-tool-for-elc-settings.doc\">Universal Design Guidelines for ELC Settings \u2013 Self Audit Tool for ELC Settings<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aim.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/universal-design-guidelines-for-elc-settings-appendices-case-studies-and-design-brief.pdf\">Universal Design Guidelines for ELC Settings \u2013 Appendices, Case Studies and Design Brief<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aim.gov.ie\/app\/uploads\/2021\/05\/universal-design-guidelines-for-elc-settings-literature-review-2.pdf\">Universal Design Guidelines for ELC Settings \u2013 Literature Review<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<!--#section_close\" -->\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<!--#section_close\" -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Universal Design Guidelines Universal Design is the design and composition of an environment, so that it can be; accessed, understood and used to the greatest extent possible by all people, regardless of their age, size, ability or disability.
