On May 17, from 11:00 to 13:00 (BST), Atos UK&I will join the GAAD celebrations by hosting a series of webinar with worldwide recognised accessibility experts including: Diane Lightfoot (CEO of Business Disability Forum), Helen Wilson (Author of SCULPT document accessibility framework), Jim Smith (Head of Accessibility & Digital Inclusion UK&I at Atos), Mark Wilcock (Co-chair of the Accessibility Apprenticeship Standard), Nathan Wood, Kiril Turley, Damian Farrelly and Adam Kempa.
Please join us for a conversation using an exciting new process, 3 Practice Circles ( 3practices.com ) As described by the founders of the process: “Over decades, we observed, and eventually described and named the habits of people who cross the difference divide — repeatedly and on purpose. Not only do these people have time for real conversations, they’ve decided they don’t have time for conversations that aren’t real.”
In this webinar, we are going to discuss some of the most common web accessibility issues. Lots of real examples will be presented along with some ways to remediate the issues.
