A variety of barriers can lead to people being excluded from society. We categorise these barriers into three main types:
These are factors that affect the way a person thinks or feels. For example, trauma may affect someone’s ability to focus, or their confidence to participate in an activity.
A physical barrier is anything that affects a person’s body or senses. Hearing, eye sight, dexterity, and cognitive impairments are all physical barriers.
Environmental barriers that can exclude people from society, include limited access to smartphones, the internet, electricity, data, education, and cultural and legal restrictions.
Through research, design, and technology, we uncover and overcome these barriers to promote greater inclusion. Learn more about what we do.
