If you think the European Accessibility Act doesn’t apply to UK businesses post-Brexit - think again! 🌍

Any company selling digital products or services in the EU must comply, no matter where they’re based. Failing to meet accessibility requirements could mean losing customers, facing fines, and damaging your reputation.

Inclusive Online Shopping at Poundland & Dealz 🛍️

We're thrilled to see Poundland's retail website feature the Recite Me Assistive Toolbar to support shoppers when making online orders.

In 2022, Poundland first adopted Recite Me on its careers website to bridge the disability employment gap. A year later, Poundland has expanded its commitment by integrating Recite Me on its main website.

We caught up with Natasha Williamson, People Relations Manager at Poundland, Dealz & Pepco to discuss what inspired them to work with Recite Me.

Language matters - are you using the right words?

This Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we’re breaking down three key terms: neurodiverse, neurodivergent, and neurotypical, to help businesses and individuals use language that accurately represents and respects different ways of thinking.

Understanding these terms is a small but powerful step toward creating more inclusive workplaces, recruitment processes, and digital experiences 🚀
