This month we welcome Clare Davidson. Join us, to hear all about…

Creating an accessible organisational culture

When it comes to why we should consider accessibility within our software development process it’s rarely disputed.

Although Clare has always worked with teams who really care about customer’s needs, when it comes to actually implementing accessibility, it can be daunting prospect. The approach can be minimal, an afterthought that is often time-boxed. Accessibility is culturally seen as separate work stream, it’s seen as user enhancement that we can address at a later stage.

The only way we can change this culture is by embedding accessibility throughout the full end to end delivery life-cycle, educating individuals on how they can make a real difference, making our processes more robust and humanising the accessibility guidelines.

Clare will talk you through the approach she is taking with the digital teams across Sky to change the culture of accessibility and to make sure that inclusive design is at the heart of all good software development.

Questions? We've Got Answers

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?

An IxDF Local Group is a meeting point for people with a passion for design in your city.

You don't need to be a designer, just passionate about great design and how it can improve your work and career.

Meetups are the heartbeat of IxDF Local Groups, whether we meet at a café, a creative space or a local company. There's nothing quite like the magic of meeting face-to-face to share ideas and inspiration.

We also host regular IxDF Design Dinners, where we enjoy great food and help each other learn and grow. Even a simple coffee meetup in a café can ignite collaborations and friendships that last a lifetime.

You'll also have a private and exclusive online forum where you can openly get help and career advice.

Simply put, we learn together and smile together.

You'll expand your career network, discover new skills, explore job opportunities, meet potential clients, or even find your next dedicated team member when you join an xDF Local Group.

Remember: Your network is your net worth.

Your IxDF Local Group is led by an IxDF Local Leader and serves as a vibrant hub where you can network, learn and grow.

Here's what you can expect:
