We deliver expert-led Accessible Communications Training (ACT) to help organisations create inclusive communications and digital content, while meeting the European Accessibility Act requirements. We understand that accessibility can feel intimidating. Many people want to do the right thing but are afraid of getting it wrong. ACT is designed to remove that fear. We create a safe, supportive learning space where people feel encouraged, not judged, and where confidence grows through understanding.
Our training will help individuals and teams:
To understand why accessibility matters.
To confidently create accessible visual and digital content, not just theory, but real techniques you can apply immediately. (e.g ALT text, emails, Word documents, PDF’s , presentations, social media content, social stories, printed materials)
Improve the quality and reach of communications, promoting staff inclusion and support, enhanced customer experience
Reach new markets
Develop clear internal standards, leading to fewer accessibility related complaints.
Build inclusive practices that are sustainable
Comply with the EU Accessibility Act requirements.
Who Should Attend
Anyone who engages with digital communication
Communications, Marketing, HR, EDI individuals and teams
Private and public sector bodies.
No prior knowledge is required.
What Makes Our Training Different
This training is rooted in the lived experience of people with disabilities.
As a social enterprise, we work every day with people who face barriers to communication, understanding, and access. The training we deliver is shaped by these real interactions; by what excludes, what enables, and what genuinely makes life easier for people.
This focuses on helping people see communication through another person’s eyes, to understand how small design and content choices can either create barriers or open doors.
ACT supports individuals and teams to embed accessibility into everyday practice, so inclusion becomes part of how work is done, not an afterthought.
At its heart, this training is about lasting change, changing habits, perspectives, and systems so that accessibility is no longer an exception, but a shared responsibility across the organisation.

Testimonials
-Ciara Harrison (Learning and Public Engagement Curator, RHA)
“I attended four days of training with Liz on different aspects of accessibility. Liz was very informed and she offered training tailored specifically to our needs. The training was engaging, informative and practical. We were able to put into practice what we had learned very quickly.”
-Rebecca Gale (Marketing Manager)
“Upskilling with Elizabeth Salisbury from Connections Arts Centre was really helpful, insightful and beneficial to our organisation. I felt I had gained a much better understanding of the changes we can make to ensure our way of working and the information we publicise is much more accessible to people with various additional needs. In an encouraging environment, Elizabeth covered a wide area of content creation which enabled us to make immediate improvements.”’
