He also provides Expert Witness Advice to The Disability Rights Commission - the Government body that facilitates legal action on behalf of disabled people.
   
   Alex's second strand of expertise is in helping retained Government and Education clients maintain and manage their property portfolios.

   The Government is fully committed to an inclusive society in which nobody is disadvantaged. This commitment has been observed over recent years through increasing Civil Rights legislation, regulation and policy. Most significantly we have seen the remit of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 extended to include education, with further substantial extensions now proposed by a Draft Disability Bill, due for pre-legislative consultation this summer. Part M of the Building Regulations (Access and Facilities for disabled people) is also currently under review.
   
   The Government, through the publication of a Good Practice Guide on Planning and Access for Disabled People, has now addressed the inconsistent application of the development control process to developer's design proposals.
   ...
   Commenting on the Good Practice Guide, Alex Bell, partner at Drivers Jonas, who heads their Disabled Persons' Access business said:
   
   "This new guide sends a clear message to those individuals or organisations commissioning or designing new or refurbished buildings:, those parties who fail to adapt the beneficial principles of best practice could find themselves subject to rejection or delay when making planning applications. We hope that by contributing to this important government policy, Drivers Jonas can help in the drive to create inclusive and sustainable communities."
