At least one in five people in the UK have a long term illness, impairment or disability - and even more have temporary disabilities too. With most public sector websites and mobile apps failing to currently meet accessibility requirements, new regulations are in place to make it a legal duty for public sector organisations to meet these standards.

This is a monumental shift that challenges long standing design principles. But it needn't be a big deal! There are quick wins to achieve compliance and to build accessibility in from the outset. Susheel Dodeja and Robert van Tol explore in this episode of BJSS Deployed.
