About

Now is not the time to de-prioritise accessibility. We have a government-imposed deadline looming, that doesn’t look like it is going to change and more importantly, users that rely on us to provide accessible services.

Jadu Creative and Shaw Trust have been working together closely and we want to share our expertise on how you can ensure your site is a user first, accessible experience, even during a global pandemic.

We will be talking about:

• The upcoming 23rd September 2020 accessibility deadline
• How COVID-19 has affected accessibility in Local Government
• Why now is not the time to de-prioritise accessibility, in fact, it's now more important than ever
• Braintree District Council case study - Hear about the work Jadu and Shaw Trust have been doing in collaboration
