The UK Public Sector Web Accessibility Regulations became law in 2018 and created a range of new responsibilities for Universities and other public sector bodies. The purpose of the regulations is to ensure any student can benefit from higher education, in particular focusing on making sure that websites and digital learning resources are accessible to disabled students.

This series of online workshops provides an opportunity for you to learn from AbilityNet's accessibility specialists, helping you to prepare for forthcoming deadlines as well as embed best practice in your work .

You'll learn new accessibility skills and focus on the key requirements of the legislation - in particular the need to produce an Accessibility Statement by 23 September 2019.

The series consists of four 90-minute workshops:

• 1pm 23 July 2019: Introduction to web accessibility for HE
• 1pm 30 July 2019: Developing and maintaining an accessibility statement for HE
• 1pm 4 Sept 2019: Introduction to accessibility testing for HE
