Accessibility and the web
I think we all know by now that we need to make the web accessible to everyone, no matter their disability.
But sometimes even professionals who have been working with disabled people for years don't know exactly how to make web accessibility happen.
Over the years I've written quite a lot about this topic, and I've brought it together here.
If you have any questions or comments, please get in touch.
Readability for the web
A course for people who write for the SEND Local Offer.
This is now a full course, free to work through at your own pace.
Accessibility for social media
I asked my disabled friends on social media what their gripes were about posts on social media. They didn't hold back. There were some common themes, but also some contradictory advice.
The one constant is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, a framework to help make the web accessible to everyone.
What I've written here is how to follow these guidelines when creating social media communications. It'll help disabled people feel included in your brand, whether people are blind, deaf, have epilepsy or Parkinson's, or are disabled in any other way.
This is currently in a Google Doc, and you can add comments. It might be a little out of date, so when I get time, I'll update it and turn it into web pages.
HTML for content editors
As a content editor, I need to know a little HTML so that I can make inclusive content.
