Format of the session
The webinar will take place on Zoom. Some basic slides and presentation of findings and ideas will be shared on screen. Slides won’t contain comprehensive information but will serve as a reference point for the discussion.
We will aim to make the slides and session as accessible and inclusive as possible, with consideration that no one format is inclusive and accessible for all, as individual’s needs are all different.
Open to questions throughout as practicable. Time for dedicated questions and answers at the end.
Louise and Leanne are award-winning, CIPR chartered professionals with almost 50 years combined experience of communications, PR, marketing and sales in public and private sector. Both are champions of improving accessibility in communications and have led the way in doing so at local and national levels.
