If you’re interested in data, statistics or analysis then you may have come across a data dashboard or some other sort of interactive analytical content online. In the UK Government Analysis Function we support analytical teams across government to make their content more accessible. So, as part of Analysis in Government Month we are running a session where an accessibility tester will assess a few different types of data dashboards and other interactive content. We will discuss issues and possible improvements that could be made. Tickets are still available on Eventbrite, but they are selling out fast!
