  • Debunking Accessibility Myths

    Debunking Accessibility Myths
    Jun 14 2025
    Our team have been working in accessibility for many, many years.

    During that time, we’ve had to debunk many accessibility ‘myths’ in the minds of many people in organisations we work with, whether they’re Developers, Content Authors, Designers, Testers or Procurement Managers.

    All of these myths hold people back from doing accessibility well, or even doing it at all. Some myths have been around for as long as we have (e.g. websites can be 100% accessible). Others are more recent (e.g. AI tools can fix accessibility).

    In this session, our team share their favourite accessiblity myths and how to combat them, including;
    • PDFS aren’t accessible
    • ARIA fixes everything
    • Audits should be done just before launch
    • Personas are great for testing
    • WCAG is the law

  • Trends in Digital Accessibility for 2025

    Trends in Digital Accessibility for 2025
    May 14 2025
    2024 was a big year for accessibility, with more and more companies committing to get accessibility right, WCAG 2.2 slightly moving the goalposts, and different AIs proving useful tools for accessibility or total red-herrings.

    In this essential session, our CEO Jonathan Hassell looks back at what we learned about what’s working best to help organisations deliver accessibility in 2024, and how we believe new technologies, devices, laws, and regulations will impact organisations in the next 12 months.

    Here’s our top 10 Accessibility Trends for 2025 that matter:
    1. Accessibility Legislation is getting tougher (the EAA now has teeth, and WCAG 2.2 is becoming more required)
    2. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is pushing us Beyond one-time WCAG compliance by requiring us to embed accessibility in our maintenance processes and share how we’re doing that
    3. The EAA, is also pushing us to provide better Documentation of our services’ accessibility and support for questions from people with disabilities in Contact Centres
    4. It is also pushing organisations beyond making software accessible, to also include making hardware accessible (in kiosks, ticket machines, and payment terminals)
    5. Vulnerability regulations are pushing us beyond ensuring websites and apps are accessible, to ensuring all our communications are accessible
    6. Accessibility is being pushed now by economics more than DEI – embedding accessibility in Procurement of digital tools is key to the workplace of 2025
    7. AI only gets us 90% of the way – we need to learn to work with AI to use it best for accessibility
    8. AI is now being sold as Assistive Technology – why it’s important for individuals needing ATs to tell us which AI is best for them, rather than technology suppliers
    9. AI Agents and GenUI are taking us to a possible future of personalised interfaces and ATs for all – and a complete reinvention of accessibility – how do you get ready for this?
    10. In 2025, your accessibility strategy needs to prove Return on Investment. But where can you find recent public ROI stories

    In the recording, you’ll get detail on all of these, how they’re helping organisations win from accessibility, and how we can help your organisation respond to each trend best.

    It could be the most important thing you hear about accessibility all year!

  • How to meet the accessibility needs of an increasingly diverse workforce​

    How to meet the accessibility needs of an increasingly diverse workforce​
    Apr 14 2025
    It’s great to see employers embracing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

    However, the gap between the intention of inclusion and its reality can be vast. Not being able to fully access internal tools and communications can be frustrating at best and excluding at worst – whether that’s being unable to tab through a purchasing system for employees who find using a mouse a challenge, to getting the right information from RAG status charts if you’re colour-blind, or viewing company videos that don’t come with captions.

    Everyone in an organisation has a role to play in enabling accessibility to happen for staff – from procurement managers assuring the accessibility of digital tools they buy, to internal comms staff thinking about the accessibility of pages they create on their intranet.

    In this session we share key steps you can take to deliver internal digital tools and comms that deliver to both your organisation’s values, from having worked with large and small organisations, to make this happen.

    We touch on:
    • How to ask your employees about their access needs
    • How to ensure the digital toolks you’re buying are accessible
    • Help! I can’t change what we’ve bought… What do I do?
    • How do you make sure your comms don’t let the side down
