Accessible and Inclusive Document Writing for All Audiences

Documents that ignore accessibility exclude readers with disabilities, low literacy or limited data, which is a real concern across diverse African audiences. This course teaches professionals to write and format documents that everyone can read and understand. Delegates learn practical techniques for clear structure, readable formatting, alternative text and inclusive language that widen the reach of their communication.

What you will be able to do

  • Recognise barriers that stop people from reading documents.
  • Structure documents so they are easy to navigate for all readers.
  • Format text, colour and spacing for readability and low vision.
  • Write clear alternative text for images, charts and tables.
  • Use inclusive, respectful language across audiences.
  • Check documents against a simple accessibility checklist.
