Upcoming Webinars:
21st November, 4pm UK-time - Work harder or Work smarter? How to Optimise Your Accessibility Strategy
Accessibility can at times be overwhelming with multiple strands, projects, handovers and tasks to complete. In this webinar we share what we think are smarter ways of working when it comes to accessibility, so that you maximise your time, energy and budget and get the most benefit out of every piece of work you undertake.
We'll discuss the benefits of
- Design reviews vs Accessibility Testing
- Journey review vs WCAG review
- Speed Dating vs guessing what customers think
- The value of a great briefing
- Live Audits vs full audit
- User Experience vs Compliance
Come and join us when we acknowledge the challenges and restrictions of standard approaches and share with you smart ways of working to get you a better/cheaper/more efficient approach.
19 December, 4pm UK-time - How to meet the accessibility needs of an increasingly diverse workforce
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. Everyone in an organisation has a role to play in enabling this to happen - 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.
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 get the right information from RAG status charts if you're colour-blind, or view company videos due to lack of captions.
In this webinar we'll share key steps you can take to deliver internal digital tools and comms that deliver to both your organisation's values.
We'll share what we've learned from working with large and small organisations, and guide you through some key ideas and processes:
- How to ask your employees about their access needs
- How to ensure the digital tools 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
Invite your HR and DE&I leads, and join us for a practical and inspiring session.
30 January, 4pm UK-time - Trends in Digital Accessibility 2025
In our January webinar, accessibility thought-leader Jonathan Hassell, will take you through his review of what we learned in 2024 in the world of accessibility, and what his predictions are for how new technologies, devices, laws and regulations will impact accessibility in the next 12 months.
This immensely popular, not-to-be-missed webinar aims to springboard your accessibility thinking for the year.
Topics will evolve between now and then (!) but here's a flavour of what he'll cover:
- Vulnerable consumers - how accessibility can help
- The impact of the EAA in June 2025
- How will AI continue to impact accessibility
- From piecemeal to embedded accessibility - how organisations are winning from shifting their approach
The session will get you thinking and provides plenty of inspiration for where we all may be heading…
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.
