What will be covered
In this course, you will be introduced to digital accessibility legislation and regulations, such as the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations.
This will include historical and current trends, and specific laws and legal cases. The content will focus on the UK, although European, North American, and worldwide trends will also be identified and explained.
On the course you'll learn about the scope and intended purpose of the various legislations, the paths to comply with them, and ways to approach claims against you.
The course will end with signposting you to best-in-class resources and events, where you can dive deeper into legislation and regulation, and become a subject matter expert.
