This is the culmination of a year's work that @cfunn and I lead on, with lots of help from @accessibleweb and accessibility leads at other departments. 🎉

🌟 The future of GOV accessibility is bright! Our Accessibility Lead, @WebDevBev, shares their thoughts on why this matters:

🌐 Accessibility is a MUST - legal, vital, and inclusive!
🚀 We're growing, but the demand's huge!
⚖️ Making justice accessible for all is our goal!

Thoroughly loved Priyanca D'Souza's talk on intersectionality 😍 feel like it was a talk I could listen to over and over again! @a11yScotland

[Beverley Newing @WebDevBev]

Really enjoying @upwithebonnet 's talk - loads of great content, but favourite idea so far is avoiding question "jump scares" - being upfront about what and when potentially challenging topics come up in a round of questions, so people can mentally prepare @a11yScotland

[Beverley Newing @WebDevBev]

Really enjoyed @abbott567 's talk at @a11yScotland - loved hearing Craig set out some definitions like neudivergant vs neurodiversity, and really skillful explanation of legislation - difficult to make that engaging!

[Rachel @upwithebonnet]

Top moment in @WebDevBev ‘s excellent talk about being an accessibility lead - sometimes you have to call people’s babies ugly. @a11yScotland #a11yscotland

[James Buller @jbuller]

Delighted to see @WebDevBev leading off @a11yScotland conference with a talk about her journey learning to lead a team of #a11y specialists and the cause in a large enterprise. Fantastic story personally and organisationally. #CivilService #GovA11y

@patlaj @SoVeryBritish Love it 😂 hope you're well! It's been ages!

[Beverley Newing @WebDevBev]

@Finnberrys @computermuseum Love that place! Spent a good couple of hours there last year and keep meaning to go back

[Beverley Newing @WebDevBev]

@JemChanOT There was the one in Margate last year, which you may already be aware of! I think @_rubyrare was involved, who you may also already know 😂

I moved down to Margate a couple of months ago and have been keeping an eye out for interesting things going on 👀

[Beverley Newing @WebDevBev]

@abbott567 @Finnberrys We'll miss you Craig!

[Beverley Newing @WebDevBev]

@kolombiken It went down at the end of November, when the Heroku free tier ended - but currently getting that sorted out!

Ooh nice - keen to hear your thoughts when it's back up!

[Beverley Newing @WebDevBev]

@arhayward @TwitterA11y Very sorry to hear this. Thank you for all the work you put in to the team, and the impact it had on this platform 💜

[Beverley Newing @WebDevBev]

The Ministry of Justice Digital Accessibility team in full 🎉

Very excited to have such a great team, and looking forward to all the work we've got lined up for this year 💪

@kitation Oh interesting! I have it on my driving license, but it's a motorbike one rather than a car one (don't know if that makes any difference)

[Beverley Newing @WebDevBev]

@kitation @TetraLogical Sad to see you go but Tetralogical are lucky to have you!

[Beverley Newing @WebDevBev]

@equalsShaun Ahhh I was looking for you to tag you! Very glad to have been working on this with you too :)
