Accessible Information for All – One Day Course
About the Programme
Information helps us all to make decisions and choices about our lives and enables us to live independently, to access social rights and entitlements and take part fully in society. Providing information to people with disabilities is a key responsibility for any organisation.
During this session participants will gain an understanding of relevant legislation, national and international best practice, and the reasons for accessible information. Participants will also gain an insight into how to design and mange information with access in mind.
