What’s Happening in the Third Sector?
SCULPT for Accessibility
Helen Wilson, Digital Designer at Worcestershire County Council, has developed a new tool to address basic digital accessibility awareness.
SCULPT aims to show the basic principles of accessibility online in a way that’s understandable to all. The tool was born from the past reliance on WCAG and its technical use of language being a potential barrier to some trying to learn more about digital accessibility.
Find out more about SCULPT, including how you can use it in your own organisation here.
