Inclusive design: creating content for everyone

This event is now fully booked. Due to popular demand, we will be releasing a new date shortly!


What does inclusive design mean for your work? Join us to explore the practical things that you can do to make your content inclusive for all.

Education is open to all. Or is it? 

Subtle signs can make us feel welcome or unwelcome, included or excluded. And we risk unintentionally creating a barrier to some people if we don’t carefully consider the diversity of our users and the situations that we are designing for. 

Do you consider protected characteristics like gender, ethnicity and disability? What about social class, digital literacy, and situational or temporary contexts? 

In this webinar we will explore examples of good and bad inclusion practices, outline practical things you can do with your own content, and discuss how to engage your organisation in this important topic.

What we’ll cover

  • Why inclusivity is important to user-focused design

  • How to design more inclusive content

  • How to advocate for and build inclusive design principles into your ways of working
