The session aims to provide strategic leads of all types of heritage organisations an understanding of why inclusion and accessibility is so important in the creation of a digital strategy and the organisational benefits of ‘getting it right.’ It will also offer insights into the tools they need to embed inclusive and accessible practice in the most effective way.

 

Why D&A?

 

Diversity and Ability is a UK based multi award-winning social enterprise led by and for disabled people. We support organisations to create inclusive cultures where diversity is valued and people can thrive.

 

We draw upon our own authentic lived experience to deliver the right support, training and change that welcomes diversity. We embed an intersectional approach into all of our services, recognising that identities are unique and impacts are layered.

 

We work across the UK and internationally, with small and large organisations across all sectors, governmental bodies and NGOs to make the shifts that really matter.
