Driving a digital accessibility culture Whitepaper

How it’s time the technology and public sector work together.

In this whitepaper, organisations developing strong digital inclusivity reveal how to develop a culture of digital access, discuss the role of technology and the senior leadership team, and look ahead at how the next wave of technologies such as AI, will impact and increase the need for digital accessibility to be at the forefront of digital transformation strategies.

Technology providers and the public sector must work together to ensure technology is equitable

The latest technologies have the potential to improve accessibility, but as with their predecessors, if there is no concerted effort by the technology industry and its partners and customers (such as the public sector), the opportunity could be lost and accessibility could be a step behind rather than in front.

Evolution of regulations, disruption and social change

The 2020s have been disruptive and seen significant social change. Awareness and demand for change in attitudes towards natural and digital environments have risen. Regulators are responding, placing financial penalties on organisations that don't provide digital accessibility. 

Benefits of adding accessibility to your strategy

Ensuring accessibility is a fundamental part of your business strategy allows you to gain profound insights into citizens and customers, leading to reduced costs and potentially higher customer loyalty. It brings a multitude of business benefits and is the right thing to do. 

Accessibility as a culture and the role of leadership

Organisations featured in this whitepaper have approached accessibility as a cultural change, transforming the entire organisation and customer relationship. Cultural change requires leadership, and these organisations are leading the move to digital accessibility.

Our work is never done; it is not a project with an end date.” Accessibility is an opportunity, a challenge and the right thing to do.
