We offer bespoke digital accessibility training for any organisation. Delivered in-house or remotely, we can up-skill developers, designers, content writers, general staff members and auditors.
Why does my team need accessibility training?
Maintaining consistency remains key when dealing with complex web projects or large-scale web estates. Training ensures everybody knows what to deliver and, most importantly, how it gets delivered.
Accessibility is regulated for public sector organisations by Public Bodies Websites and Mobile Apps Accessibility Regulations (2018). There’s also the threat of the Equality Act 2010 adding pressure to any other organisation.
There has never been a better time to ensure that staff within your teams understand the principle of accessibility and how to implement it.
