Gareth Ford Williams and Charlie Turrell, of Ab11y, built the first digital accessibility team at the BBC and created the Champions of Accessibility Network to encourage more people to think and talk about barriers to access to news information.
Ford Williams and Turrell said guidelines and legal requirements can be helpful tools, but they also emphasized that accessibility work should always come back to people’s experiences and how they engage with your news content.
“Over the years, one of the hardest things for me was getting people to understand that this was worthwhile, not just worthy,” Ford Williams said.
