Focus on Digital Access: Making Accessible Social Media & Web Content - Teams

This training will be delivered by Difference North East, online and will be focused on the topic of Focus on Digital Access: Making Accessible Social Media & Web Content

It is the third instalment of a series of training sessions on disability and digital and non-digital accessibility. Please consider signing up to the other ones.

This session is a continuation of Making Your Digital & Non-Digital Resources More Accessible, which looks at the reasons why digital and non-digital content is inaccessible to many disabled people. It provides a framework to help you make sure that content is made inclusive and accessible to all. This session provides hands on techniques for you to improve access and focuses specifically social media and web content that are accessible. This is suitable for anyone who is involved with producing text that will be read by others.

This session is part of the Gateshead UKSPF Digital Inclusion Project and it is open to all organisations working in Gateshead.

Connected Voice Health Equity connects charities and community organisations to health services to improve digital inclusion, mental health support and social prescribing.

Our training and events are funded from a variety of sources, allowing us to offer them for free to eligible organisations. Please check the eligibility requirements for each session before signing up, as this varies from course to course. If your organisation is not eligible for a free session you may be interested in one of our tailored training packages.

You can keep up to date with the latest training and events from Connected Voice by subscribing to our fortnightly email bulletin.

Attendance and value Our team have dedicated significant time and resource to create and deliver our excellent range of training and events. Connected Voice is funded for this work, allowing us to offer these events free of charge. However, we expect people who have registered to prioritise attendance and let us know as soon as possible if there is a barrier to attending. We may follow up with you if you are absent without letting us know.

Delivery - This event will take place online via Microsoft teams.

Accessibility Please let us know in advance if you have any accessibility requirements that would help you get the most out of this session. We will do everything we can to accommodate them. We can provide a BSL interpreter for training and events on request, but ask you to give us enough advance notice to enable this to be organised. To maximise resources, we are unable to provide BSL interpreters for all sessions unless we know this is essential.

Evaluation This event is free to attend but all participants will be required to complete a short evaluation on completion. This feedback enables us to continue delivering a free programme of training and events.

For security and practical reasons: You can only book one place for yourself. If a colleague wants to attend, they will need to book separately themselves. You must give us all the essential information requested so that we know your registration is genuine.

If circumstances change, you must advise us as soon as possible so that the place isn’t wasted as we have limited spaces for each event. You must also advise us if a substitute person from your organisation is attending in your place. We will be monitoring non-attendance, and may not accept future bookings from regular non-attenders.
