Easy, Free and Quick ICT Accessibility

By AbilityNet

This guide is designed for all third sector organisations to explain why accessibility is vital to support your work with beneficiaries, and how easy it is to make simple practical improvements to your accessibility.

The first section of the guide explains how accessibility can help improve your service to users, volunteers and employees, and how through improving accessibility you can enhance the efficiency and reach of your service. It also aims to clarify your legal obligation to make adjustments for disabled people and simplify some of the information surrounding this area.

Section two gives straightforward and practical guidance for improving the accessibility of your organisation. Our top ten lists will help you make your services more accessible to staff, volunteers and service users who experience difficulty or discomfort using a PC. Experience also tells us that making IT accessible has the potential to improve the experience of a broad range of learners. Most of the ideas in this booklet are free, or cost less than £100.

Section three signposts sources of further information and advice for organisations wanting to build on the ideas suggested in this booklet.
