The Department for Work & Pensions and Texthelp have created a new webinar which will set out an 8 step plan to create an accessible and inclusive website.
The creators of the webinar say that inclusive and accessible digital experiences are more important now than ever before as 1 billion people across the world live with a disability and the average reading age in the UK is 9.

The creators also say that digital platforms, content, campaigns and social media posts should be easily accessed and understood by all. Businesses that fail to do this are excluding huge portions of their potential online audiences.
Creating an accessible and inclusive website isn’t a simple checkbox exercise but a process. After all, websites are forever changing with new images, documents, videos and content being added constantly. The creators of the webinar say that maintaining digital accessibility is part of the journey too. It’s also not the responsibility of one person, but the role of many.
