The EAA sets a new standard for accessibility, and with approximately 135 million people living with disabilities within EU member states, it is integral for providing equal access for all, where everyone has the opportunity to participate fully. The EAA mandates that key products and services including websites, apps, and all digital media adhere to the new regulations, by including tools such as subtitling, multilingual options, sufficient colour contrast for low vison and more.

?????????????????????? ????????+ ?????????????? ?????????? ?? As we approach the end of February, it is important to reflect on LGBT+ History Month in the UK - an opportunity to honour the contributions of LGBT+ people, recognise their struggles, and celebrate progress towards equality. At thebigword, we are committed to an inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone feels valued and respected. LGBT+ history is an essential part of our collective story. This month, let’s take the time to listen, learn, and celebrate the diversity that makes us stronger. This year’s theme, "Medicine - #UnderTheScope", highlights the vital role of LGBT+ individuals in healthcare and the barriers they have had to overcome. It’s a reminder of why representation, inclusion, and equal access to services matter. There are many incredible organisations working to support and uplift the LGBT+ community. If you’d like to learn more or get involved, here are just a few: ????? Stonewall - Advocating for LGBT+ rights: www.stonewall.org.uk ????? Mermaids - Supporting trans and non-binary young people: www.mermaidsuk.org.uk ?? Switchboard LGBT+ Helpline - A safe space to talk: www.switchboard.lgbt This month is a reminder to keep learning, listening, and championing diversity - not just in February, but every day. #thebigword #LGBTHistoryMonth #DiversityAndInclusion #LGBTQ+ #Equality #UnderTheScope
