Getting StartedWhat is accessibility

It's all about being equal and inclusive.

Something that is accessible is free from barriers and can be used by anyone regardless of ability.

What barriers?

Different things can be barriers for different people.

As we age, our bodies change. Something that isn't a barrier today, may become one tomorrow.

Who is responsible?

Everyone has a part to play, especially if you:

  • Create, request or publish
    content

    Content includes: PDFs, office documents, copy writing, images, artwork, videos, code and web based systems such as intranets, portals and content management systems.

    .
  • Pay others to provide
    content

    Content includes: PDFs, office documents, copy writing, images, artwork, videos, code and web based systems such as intranets, portals and content management systems.

    for us.
  • Manage people who do any of the above.
