Through
the BT Countryside for All Project, Fieldfare supported the development
of the National Advisory Group, which includes organisations
representing people with disabilities, countryside service providers,
national agencies and countryside user groups. This group ensures
that good practice and new intiatives are promoted and that the needs
of users are central to all project.
Fieldfare, under the guidance of this group and working with users,
researched and developed Physical Accessibility Standards
that meet the needs of users and provide a national standard for service
providers.
These standards were published, along with information on networking,
transport, information and interpretation etc, as part of the BT Countryside for All Good
Practice Guide.
Fieldfare continues to undertake research and development of new guidelines
for countryside service providers. In 2001 it produced a report for
the Countryside Agency; 'Increasing Access to the Wider Countryside',
and in 2002 it produces guidance for Scottish Natural Heritage 'Planning
for Accessible Core Path Networks'.
