Digital Accessibility: EDI Skill Development Sessions
The Development, Change and Transition team are pleased to announce Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Skill Development Sessions. Following the success of these sessions in the Delivery and Operations directorates, these sessions are now available to all staff in NHS England. These sessions will increase our confidence in identifying non-inclusive practices and taking steps to create a more inclusive NHS England, and also help us foster good relations between our colleagues.
Digital accessibility
How to create accessible communications for disabled or neurodiverse people. An overview of Microsoft Accessibility tools and points to consider when using Outlook, PowerPoint, Microsoft Word and Microsoft Teams. These tools can support the health and wellbeing of all colleagues especially considering how much time we spend using computers.
Feedback from Previous Participants

- “I liked the phrase in one video in that it is OK to not understand, but take time to find out.”
- “I learnt a lot about how diverse the LGBTQ+ community is and I found this really reassuring in terms of feeling equipped to think about and talk about this topic.”
Questions and Reasonable Adjustments
These sessions will run online on Microsoft Teams. Please e-mail [email protected] if you have any questions or to tell us how we can support you in participating in the sessions.
