Webinar: an introduction to making psychology accessible on the web
20/06/2023 - 16:00 to 17:30
£30
Aim
The aim of this webinar is to introduce psychologists (and others) to important concepts around accessibility on the web, given that psychologists are creating more web content than ever before. This has particularly been the case since the start of covid restrictions in March 2020.
This is important for Psychology Services as:
People may not have a choice when using a public sector website or mobile app, so it’s important they work for everyone. The people who need them the most are often the people who find them hardest to use.
(Gov.uk, 2018, Understanding accessibility requirements)
