On #axschat Neil Milliken & I had a profoundly enlightening conversation with Winnie Orodi, about the urgent importance of making mental health services easily accessible to the youth in Kenya. Tune in to understand the impact of societal fragmentation. #MentalHealth #Kenya

Q2, An inclusive culture is of course more supportive. Think we can state that more inclusive organisations will also be more inclusive towards clients as they understand potential issues of clients with disabilities.

Culture can only succeed with #accessibility

#AXSChat

A1 Bank should be actively looking into what is expected of them with regards to the new European accessibility act and act accordingly. Employ accessibility consultants to test current system and give advice on how to meet the standards necessary. #AXSChat

Encouraging research by working in partnership with Small Business Britain on a report that led to the @lilacreviewuk . Using large influence of financial services to bring about #EconomicInclusion for business.

A4.2 On the contrary, there might be an opportunity for banks to target the group with disabilities specifically as most banks are not serving this group very well

#AXSChat

Sara Ruh AXSChat Good idea Sara Ruh, the EAA is a good example of practical compliance.

#AXSChat

A3, I believe the conversations with monitoring authorities will have a positive effect on other countries too. The knowledge and expectations regarding #accessibility compliance.

#GlobalStandards #EAA #AXSChat

Offer customisable interfaces for personalized accessibility.

A1, (a) assess the current situation and gap with EAA and (b) start working on the level of awareness and knowledge in the organisation. With this 2nd point you mobilize the staff to identify gaps, finally create awareness for future change helping you to stay compliant.
