Making services
accessible, accessibly - Andrew Hick (GDS)
Andrew talks through the accessibility of real life services he’s encountered
with examples of what good - and bad - look
like, red flags to avoid and why it
can't “just be fixed with AI”.
He'll then talk about the most important factors to build
accessibility into services from the start, decoding the
accessibility
guidelines in relation to service design and filling some gaps those guidelines
don’t cover well.
About the
speaker
Andrew is a Senior Accessibility Specialist in the accessibility monitoring
team at the UK Government Digital Service, with
a background in quality
assurance and testing. He loves to demystify accessibility and help the public
sector raise its
standards. He also enjoys art and design, especially when this
intersects with digital accessibility.
It’s time to rethink your approach to prototyping -
Chloe Langan & Sam Stevens (CXPartners)
Prototyping is a designer’s old friend. But organisations
aren’t benefiting from it as much as they could. We’d like
designers,
researchers and product owners to get excited about prototyping again, by
helping them feel energised to try
out new prototyping techniques and empowered
to help their organisations embrace prototyping too.
In this talk we will;
Share
examples of prototypes that break the stereotypical mould
Show
you how to convince decision-makers to invest in rapid prototyping
Explain the tangible steps to take that’ll make your prototyping more impactful
