Close up on the hands of someone with various disabilities using a laptop.

Join us on 16 October for our Technology Taskforce where we will discuss digital inclusion with Abi from Barclays and accessibility with Gareth Ford Williams of A11yQuest.

Risk based approach to digital inclusion

Abi from Barclays will discuss the impact of using a risk management approach for managing digital accessibility at scale. They will discuss how using a risk framework can help guide decisions on where and how to focus accessibility activities as well as some of the challenges risk-based thinking can create.

Accessibility is a Journey – an introduction to A11yQuest

Delivering accessibility can feel like a mountain-sized job but having a trusted guide by your side can make all the difference. How do you deliver accessibility? One step at a time!

We will be joined by Gareth Ford Williams, Director at A11yQuest, as he introduces us to their knowledge base, that supports your teams to design inclusively, integrate accessibility, and inclusive design into every task, provides an R&D function to your accessibility programme and enables team to evaluating EAA or EU Directive compliance without the need for auditing.

And he has promised a trial to everyone at the meeting.


This event will operate using the ‘Chatham House’ rule.
