As an #NHSComms person, I talk about accessibility a lot. The most common mistakes that I come across that are easy to fix? Here's a list 👇🏻
Fixable problem 1: Alternative (alt) text for images. These are used by screen readers or load when images don't. Describe the content and function of the image. If it's purely decorative use alt=" ". Better yet: don't use decorative images. More info: bit.ly/2N5c2Lg
Fixable problem 2: Poor hyperlink copy. When you link to something, your link needs to describe where the person is going to go when they click it. "Click here" doesn't cut it. Great example here: bit.ly/3rWw6y4 via @w3c_wai

Hearing a frustration that fewer people listening to standard #covid19 messaging. Just share real people's messaging, FFS. There's acres of it. It doesn't have to be local. It doesn't have to be yours. It just has to work. #localgov #police #nhscomms #govcomms

It doesn't have to be local. Christ, the internet doesn't have boundaries. A story from Southampton can cut through in Stourbridge.
It doesn't have to be your content. Share someone else's. Share a paramedic or a nurse.
