Inclusive Design: How Do We Do It Well?

Expect honest reflections on what works, what doesn’t, the barriers that get in the way and the practical and ethical questions that come with designing for inclusion. We’ll look at the how: how to involve people meaningfully, make the case for inclusive approaches, work within real-world constraints and recognise the expertise people bring to the process.
