There's still time to share your story with the @designcouncil as they build a comprehensive picture of the UK's design sector as part of their Design Economy Survey. Take the survey to help make it as representative as possible: bit.ly/3trdLeL #ciruclardesign

Missing accessible names for controls in apps/websites make them impossible to use with a screen reader. This visual bug in the Twitter iOS app illustrates the impact. In light mode, the controls are white text on a white background, making them invisible. #accessibility #a11y

I've been trying to show how accessibility is for everybody. By showing situations that most people will have faced. And using rhymes to make them more memorable. #A11yRhymes #Accessibility

An illustration of somebody holding a mobile phone, with the sun shining through the window making it hard to read, the phone is shaking too. Strapline: Make it work for everyone, everywhere, everytime. Learn more at coop.co.uk/accessibility

Don’t talk about the “special needs” of disabled people. Talk about exclusion. Talk about discrimination. Talk about inaccessibility. Talk about ableism.
