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

What will your team will 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.

Sally Brown, General Manager at Gatwick Diamond Business

Clear messages. Good anecdotal examples. Interactive session. Thought provoking.

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.)

Joe Concheiro, Director at RGC Communications

It makes you think about the issue in a different way, and has made me want to look at our own website.

Andrew Manley, CEO & Non Executive Director at Prolifiant

Highly informative about a subject area of which I had very little understanding/appreciation. Good examples and practical lessons.

Phil Ager, Managing Director at Control Energy Costs

Insightful. Made me think and I will consider what I have learnt today on future projects.

Product Manager, BAFTA

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

Developer, BAFTA

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

Di Mill, COO at Commtel

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!
