Almost 60% of people who are blind or vision impaired have been injured by obstacles left on footpaths.
Worryingly, 16% of people had to visit a hospital or GP for serious injuries such as concussions, sprained ankles, fractured knees, and broken hips.

Here's a perfect example of the number one offender of obstacles in our public spaces.
Cars parked on footpaths!
Parked cars are the number problem people come across and we regularly hear about the challenges that they cause for individuals with disabilities.
Online banking, ATMs, and payment terminals that exclude disabled users have 7 days to get compliant.
The EAA covers the full customer journey.
That includes the login screen and the ATM on the high street.

Audio descriptions aren’t a bonus, they’re a bridge for blind and vision-impaired audiences.
If your video shows important visuals without narration, you’re excluding people.
Make your content work for everyone.
