Description

This one day online course is for people new to accessibility and experienced alike. Improving digital accessibility in an organisation requires changes from many different areas of a business. It is not just about auditing for accessibility compliance, or making reasonable adjustments when there are requests. It is about building a consistent approach to make accessibility part of the core behaviours of an organisation in all areas. Whether that is during the procurement of new digital platforms, recruiting new members of staff, content writing and document production, including accessibility into policies, and supporting all stakeholders in inclusive and proactive ways.

This event is focused on understanding the regulations, policy, and how to cover all of the important management tasks to defend against legal challenges, along with embedding accessibility as a responsibility for all staff.

By the end of the workshop, delegates should will gain:
• An introduction to accessibility and how to begin persuading others to join in on accessible practices.
• A better understanding of accessibility legislation in the UK and current applicable legislation including the public sector bodies accessibility regulations and the upcoming EU Accessibility Act
• Web content accessibility guidelines, how to conduct and report on basic web testing, and a host of tools to help you.
• Comprehensive guidance on including accessibility into procurement processes to help you avoid buying in problems.
• An introduction to accessible document and basic accessibility practices which you can incorporate into all staff produced documents.
