Disability Equity: Captions on Campaign
By b.isibor, on 1 December 2023
- Accessibility is fundamental in science communication and benefits everyone
- Captioning is a simple and effective way to make a difference
- Embrace captions to enhance your communication and reach a broader audience
The Faculty of Brain Sciences Disability Equity Committee and the Digital Accessibility Team are on a mission to foster a more inclusive and accessible environment for everyone. This includes people with a hearing impairment or are deaf. With approximately 12 million adults in the UK affected by some form of hearing loss, we believe it’s crucial to address this issue and enhance accessibility within our academic and professional community.
Make the change today!
We are asking everyone to switch on their captions when using digital platforms like MS Teams, Zoom and when creating PowerPoints to increase the accessibility of meetings, presentations, and lectures. Check out the Digital Accessibility Services website to find out just how easy it is to switch on caption in MS Teams, Zoom and PowerPoint. It takes seconds. Such a simple action will make such a big difference to everyone in our community.
