Jonathan Sullivan’s talk at today’s Diversity & Inclusion Conferences was a fantastic opportunity to highlight the importance of accessibility and inclusive communication – and why every organisation should create spaces where everyone feels understood and empowered. 💡 Communication remains one of the biggest barriers to inclusion, but symbols offer a simple yet effective way to bridge that gap. Whether on road signs, product packaging, or public services, they help people access information quickly and understand it independently. Jonathan explored this before sharing how Widgit is helping sectors like transport, retail, and local councils make their spaces more inclusive and fully accessible. 💬 We’re excited to support more and more organisations on this journey towards inclusivity.
