25th April 2024 4pm - Why & How to communicate your Accessibility Successes (Doing good things is not enough)

So you and your team or organisation are doing a great job with accessibility. But have you told people about it?

In this webinar we'll be talking about why it's critical to share your accessibility successes, with both internal and external audiences.

We'll discuss how you can create an accessibility communication strategy and plan and why it's important for gaining continued buy-in from your internal stakeholders and potential customers. We'll give hints and tips on how to enter and win awards for accessibility, and how best to leverage accessibility communications opportunities like GAAD, to demonstrate how your accessibility work is making a difference and driving your organisation to meet its business goals and diversity & inclusion commitments.

23rd May 2024, 4 pm – What makes a customer ‘vulnerable’ and how to support them

In recent years the term ‘vulnerability’ is been increasingly used in regulated industries like banking and utilities.

Many people can have characteristics of vulnerability – due to poor health, disability, neurodiversity, anxiety, ageing or a mental health condition, a life event such as a new caring responsibility, or low resilience to financial shocks such as the cost of living crisis.

All need digital information provided about products and services to be easy to understand, and customer-service lines to understand their specific needs.

The link between vulnerability and accessibility is clear. But, if you want to enable people who are vulnerable to use your digital tools and services, you'll have to go beyond WCAG, which misses many of the things people who are neurodivergent, ageing, or have mental
health conditions or anxiety need.

In this webinar, we'll discuss what accessibility experts can learn from their colleagues who focus on vulnerability, how vulnerability without accessibility misses a key audience, and how accessibility and vulnerability professionals can work together to meet the needs of all. We’ll cover topics such as additional guidelines, consumer research, and how people who are vulnerable actually feel about the term.

How our webinars help you

Whatever your role in delivering digital accessibility, these webinars are designed to help you develop your accessibility knowledge and maturity in your organisation.

Accessibility is a critical part of the digital product development process, and we all need to make sure that, in the rush to get products delivered, we don't short-change those with accessibility issues.

In talking to our network and clients at Hassell Inclusion, it’s clear they’re facing many challenges with this, at a time when digital is more important than ever before.

Our Digital Accessibility Experts Live webinars allow digital leaders and their teams to ask us their accessibility questions and get answers from our Hassell Inclusion accessibility experts.

Each month our webinar takes an important accessibility topic and shares practical advice and tips, from the perspectives of developers, designers, content authors, testers and the digital and product managers who lead them.

Come and be part of our accessibility community, and get expert advice from our experienced team who can help you get the benefits out of inclusive design.
