Podcast: What does digital accessibility mean for charities?

 

The internet was invented by Tim Berners-Lee with accessibility in mind. In its ideal form, it can remove barriers that people with disabilities face in the physical world. When websites and other elements of the digital world are poorly designed, people with disabilities experience yet more barriers, causing frustration and getting in the way of independent daily life. 

According to the Charity Digital Skills Report 2023, 58% of charities say their products and services are accessible to some extent, while 53% feel they are monitoring accessibility and diversity of users effectively.  As a sector, we can do better.

In this podcast, we are joined by a panel of experts to share advice and learnings to help the charity sector improve its digital accessibility. The session was recorded at our Digital Inclusion Summit in June 2024.
