Editor's Notes
- “So, welcome everyone! just to go through a few bits of housekeeping. “We have live captions provided today by MyClearText –you can turn on the captions using the CC option on the control panel. We also have BSL interpreters. Their names are on as *X and *Y if you can find them and pin them. Additional captions available via streamtext.net/player?event=AbilityNet Slides are available at Slideshare.net/abilitynet and also on our website abilitynet.org.uk/Dont-Disable-Me If you have any technical issues and you need to leave early don't worry you’ll receive an email in a couple of days’ time with the recording, transcript and slides.” “Depending on how you joined the webinar, you’ll find a Q&A window. If you want to ask the panel any Qs, do drop those in the Q&A area for them to address. They will do after today’s session in a follow up blog on our website at /Dont-Disable-Me.” We will also be using Slido for Q&A as an anonymous alternative. “We also have a feedback survey you’ll be directed to at the end, which invites you to tell us about any future topics you’d like us to cover in our webinars, so please do complete that if you can.“ I will now handover to Amy to run through what we will be doing today!
- Teresa: A little bit about AbilityNet, who we are and what we do: We are a technology charity whose vision is a digital world accessible to all. We work towards this vision via a number of activities: Accessibility testing and training Workplace Consultancy and Assessments Education Consultancy and DSA Assessments Free services – through IT and accessibility help at home and online resources, blogs, events and webinars We know that accessibility can feel like a complicated topic, and certainly when I joined AbilityNet it felt like a huge amount to learn but actually when you get into it it becomes more and more straightforward and easy to get right. Over to Adam to tell you about what we will be covering today.
