Please note:
The course is about digital accessibility. This means websites and apps. For example, the course would not be suitable for someone interested in the laws concerning access to public buildings or workplaces, or similar non-digital aspects of accessibility.
This course will be delivered by a digital accessibility subject matter expert, not a legal expert. We will not be providing legal advice.
