Developing a curious mindset about accessibility
If you are looking for an introduction into the world of accessibility, then this workshop is for your team.
No guilt tripping, pressure tactics or cliches to be found in this accessibility workshop — you can get that from other sources. Our goal is to educate and inspire, so your team leaves seeing the world from a different perspective.
The Developing a curious mindset about accessibility covers many topics, including:
- The reason why accessibility is needed
- The scale of disabilities in the UK
- The different types of disabilities
- The impact invisible disabilities can have on individuals
- How your choice of colour and typeface can make a difference
- The accessibility challenges of a room you visit every day
- Learn a little about the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
- A brief look at the international laws
And as there is no better way to learn than by ‘experience’, this workshop includes a number of interactive exercises to provide insight and learning about the impact of:
- Limited mobility
- Visual impairments
- Memory loss
A learning experience that benefits everyone in your organisation
Aligns with your DEI commitment
Your commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion isn't complete without digital accessibility. This workshop goes beyond compliance, revealing the invisible barriers on your website that exclude users with disabilities. Cultivate a deep, empathetic understanding of why accessibility is fundamental to true inclusion, empowering you to build digital experiences where everyone belongs. This isn't just about rules; it's about making your DEI values tangible.
What will your team gain?
It is a bold claim, but your team will see the world differently. Their curiosity will be peeked and their approach more considerate to the needs of everyone.

Director, BAFTA
It was a combination of engaging tasks to highlight real life issues, learning materials and examples of lived experiences from the presenter. It was a good introduction to the general topic and gave a good grounding for the next session.
Jess Dean, Digital Content Assistant at The Company of Biologists
A really insightful and well thought out workshop, thinking about accessibility in ways I hadn't considered before. I found it particularly useful to see how people use screen readers and voice navigation, as while I have used them before, they didn’t click until these walkthroughs.
The exercises were interactive and fun in a way that had no pressure and I felt very comfortable throughout the talk.
Sally Brown, General Manager at Gatwick Diamond Business
Clear messages. Good anecdotal examples. Interactive session. Thought provoking.
Head of Marketing, The Company of Biologists
The exercises were fun and engaging. Participants were encouraged to contribute. The atmosphere was relaxed.
Team Coordinator, BAFTA
Very informative. A safe space where no questions felt silly. Practical exercises were engaging and educational
Customer Support Executive, BAFTA
The workshop is very interactive and it gave me an insight on topics I had never had the chance to dig deep into. I really liked knowing a bit more about practical ideas (typography, design etc.)
Data Protection Officer, The Company of Biologists
Very relevant. Helped me to understand things from the perspective of other people. Good use of real-world world examples to which I think all members of the audience could relate despite it being an audience made up of people with a diverse range of job roles and experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Phil Ager, Managing Director at Control Energy Costs
Insightful. Made me think and I will consider what I have learnt today on future projects.

I liked the specificity for software problems, openness of discussions, friendliness of the speaker and practical recommendations.

This workshop went through accessibility issues that can be easily missed by people who might not experience them. Very engaging.

Very eye opening. Good mix of speaker delivery, video, interaction. Guidance on what we should be considering. Liked the comparison with everyday actions to demonstrate daily obstacles.
Customer Support Executive, BAFTA
I liked the mix of information and activity. I also liked that we covered various formats of accessibility.
Policy & Operations Manager, BAFTA
I think the workshop did a great job in teaching the key elements of approaching accessibility but through a digital/technical lens. I think it was well planned and paced —the tasks helped me keep engaged. Thank you!
