SeeAbility accessibility and inclusion support

Summer using a phone

Together, we can create an inclusive world where everyone can participate as equal citizens. The need and the benefits of becoming accessible to all are so much more apparent today than ever before. 

It’s not just the right thing to do, it’s good business 

16 million people in the UK have disabilities. That’s 16 million people in the UK alone who should have equal access to your products or services. They should be able to participate in society at the same level as everyone else. Without accessibility support, your customers, clients and colleagues could be excluded. 

Government initiatives such as the ‘Disability Confident Employer’ scheme and global initiatives like the ‘Valuable 500’ are growing each year. There hasn’t been a more appropriate time to make sure your business is doing what it can to be an inclusive employer and an inclusive brand.

Document accessibility

Documents need to be formatted in a certain way to be accessible. A simple way to ensure your customers are able to read all your materials and documents is to pass them through us for an accessibility check.

Case studies 

Read about how SeeAbility has worked with these iconic brands to improve accessibility.

Baileys and Eurovision

We worked in partnership with official Eurovision partner Baileys to make the magic of Eurovision 2024 more inclusive for its blind and visually impaired fans.  

We held focus groups with people with lived experience of learning disabilities, autism and visual impairments, including broadcaster Amar Latif and disability campaigner Scott Watkin BEM. Many of the people involved in the focus groups were keen Eurovision fans, and provided direction on how Baileys can improve the accessibility offering. 

Through these insights, we provided step by step recommendations for 2024 and beyond, particularly focusing on audio description. Baileys took many of these recommendations on board and introduced audio descriptions of each act. These were released in a Spotify playlist and were available for anyone to listen to alongside the live broadcast.

Procter & Gamble 

“I work with partners, like SeeAbility, to ensure that our products are understood by people with a range of disabilities, including learning disabilities and autism. Big things can happen when you get the right support.“ - Sumaira Latif is Procter and Gamble’s Company Accessibility Leader 

Airbnb 

From a virtual trip to Los Angeles for an inclusive skateboarding lesson, to an inclusive football class led from the UK, Airbnb’s Online Experiences provide a way to learn new skills, connect with others and travel the world from home. 

The opportunity to try new activities and explore new places without leaving your living room may be particularly meaningful for many neurodiverse guests.
