Applying Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to Data Visualisations

Accessibility regulations came into force for public sector organisations in Sept 18. Accordingly, all public sector websites and mobile apps must be more accessible by making it "perceivable, operable, understandable and robust". This includes internal websites that disabled employees working in or with the public sector may use.*

With the growing number of data visualisations now commonplace across public sector, making dashboards more accessible to users who have disabilities is an on-going challenge, particularly for those who have visual impairments. Irrespective of the platform you currently use - it doesn't have to be Tableau! - you'll find this webinar invaluable if you work with data visualisations and need to share your analysis with others within or outside of your organisation.

In this succinct 30 minute webinar, you will learn about:

1. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), what they are and how they relate to data visualisations
2. Best Practices for Dashboard Accessibility including top design tips and how to use accessible dashboard elements effectively.
