Description

The key to meeting the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018, is to have strong leadership from management and accessibility champions. The topic is highly complex and has a significant strategic element. Organisations that do not build strong leadership for accessibility are bound to have it become an unfocused activity by a small number of staff, and ultimately become a significant legal and reputational risk for the organisation.

This online course 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 into strategy and policy to begin embedding accessibility as a responsibility for all staff.

Learning objectives include:
• Know the effects and timescales of the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018
• Know organisations responsibilities under the regulations
• Know how to write and what is included into a compliant accessibility statement
• Know steps to take to include accessibility into procurement processes
• Understand responsibilities when it comes to 3rd party content
• Know how to engage senior management on accessibility
• Understand what changes need to be made across an organisation to deliver accessibility.

Delegates will be provided with training materials and resources to take away to help implementation of their learning after the course.
