About this webinar
Countries around the world are addressing digital access issues through legislation. Many of the requirements are based around the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
In the UK one in five people have a long term illness, impairment or disability, with many more having a temporary or situational disability. Web accessibility means making sure that your online services and content can be accessed by any user, anywhere and at any time.
According to the Equality Act 2010, we have a legal obligation to provide equal access to people with disabilities. This means both physically and virtually we need to ensure that our services are accessible to the widest audience possible.
In this webinar, you’ll hear about current and upcoming accessibility laws and legislation. You’ll also explore the WCAG guidelines and learn how to check your own website for the top five WCAG errors.
