Resources to use and share this Global Accessibility Awareness Day

Published 20th May 2020

Thursday 21 May 2020 marks the 9th annual celebration of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) and the first year of celebrating it virtually! It is an opportunity to get people thinking, talking and learning about digital accessibility and inclusion.

Digital accessibility is about designing and developing websites, software, applications, and tools that can be used by everyone. At a time where many people are working remotely, it is especially important for organisations to make sure communication and information can be easily read and understood by all potential audiences.

Here are some practical tips to make your content accessible and inclusive: 

• 'True' headings
• Readability
• Links
• Colour Contrast 
• Image Descriptions
• Video Descriptions 
• What can your organisation do to improve web access and inclusion?
