Accessibility designed in. Not bolted on.

Accessible Me helps organisations spot accessibility barriers across learning, content, services and customer journeys — then find the right practical route forward. We help teams take the right next step before barriers become risk, rework or exclusion.

Accessibility work with teams across financial services, technology, learning, government and the third sector.

Why Accessible Me?

Accessibility rarely sits in one team. It touches learning, HR, digital, product, legal, procurement, marketing and customer experience — often all at once. Most organisations know something needs to change but are not sure where the real problem is, who needs to be involved, or what the best first step should be.

That is where we come in. We help you identify what is really causing the barrier, who needs to be part of the solution, and what practical action will make the most difference.

Identify the real barrier

We look beyond the symptom to find what is actually causing the problem — whether that is a process, a skill gap, a system or a culture.

Involve the right people

Accessibility problems are rarely solved by one team. We help you work out who needs to be in the room and what each person's role should be.

Choose the best first step

Not every organisation needs the same thing. We help you find the practical starting point that fits your situation, your budget and your goals.

Keep it practical and joined-up

Some work is delivered by us. Some is delivered with trusted partners. Either way, we keep the work accountable and connected to real outcomes.

What are you trying to improve?

Accessibility problems show up differently in every organisation. Tell us what you are working on — we will help you find the right starting point.

Accessible learning

The problem: Learning content that excludes people is expensive to fix after the fact.

The consequence: Inaccessible programmes create legal risk, reduce reach and undermine inclusion commitments.

Best first step: An accessible learning design review to identify what needs to change and where to start.

Inclusive workplace

The problem: Recruitment, onboarding and day-to-day systems often exclude disabled employees without anyone realising.

The consequence: Organisations lose talent, face tribunal risk and fail to meet their Equality Act obligations.

Best first step: A workplace accessibility audit or a fit call to map the barriers and agree priorities.

Customer journeys and digital

The problem: Inaccessible websites, apps and digital products create barriers that most teams have never noticed.

The consequence: You lose customers, create legal exposure and damage your reputation with disabled users.

Best first step: A WCAG-based accessibility audit with a prioritised, plain-English action plan.

Accessible marketing and content

The problem: Campaigns, emails and social content often exclude people through poor contrast, missing alt text or inaccessible formats.

The consequence: Your reach is smaller than it should be and your brand signals exclusion to 1 in 4 people.

Best first step: A content accessibility review and a practical guide for your marketing team.

Compliance and risk

The problem: The Equality Act, public sector regulations and the European Accessibility Act create real obligations that many organisations have not fully mapped.

The consequence: Unaddressed risk can lead to enforcement action, reputational damage and costly remediation.

Best first step: A compliance risk review to understand your exposure and build a credible response.

Not sure where to start

The problem: Most organisations know accessibility matters but do not know which problem to tackle first.

The consequence: Without a clear starting point, accessibility stays on the to-do list and the risk grows.

Best first step: A free 30-minute accessibility fit call to get a clear picture of where you are and what to do next.

Five reasons organisations invest in accessibility

Reach and serve more people

Better access supports customer experience, employee participation, learning outcomes, recruitment and service delivery. 1 in 4 people in the UK are disabled — and their networks are wider still.

Reduce avoidable rework

Finding barriers early is usually easier and cheaper than fixing them after launch, procurement, rollout or complaint. Accessibility designed in costs less than accessibility bolted on.

Save internal time

Help teams stop piecing together conflicting guidance or managing multiple specialists without a clear route. One joined-up approach is more efficient than several disconnected ones.

Reduce risk

Identify accessibility issues, evidence gaps and weak processes before they become larger operational, procurement, regulatory or reputational problems. The Equality Act 2010 and public sector regulations create real obligations.

Build lasting capability

Leave internal teams more confident and capable rather than dependent on consultants. Accessibility becomes part of how your organisation designs, builds and communicates — not a recurring emergency.

How change happens

Start small, build momentum, sustain progress

Most organisations do not need a large programme to begin. They need a clear starting point, early evidence that it is working, and a practical way to keep going. That is how lasting accessibility change happens.

1Start small

Get clarity before you commit

Begin with an accessibility impact mapping session or a fit call. We identify the real barriers, agree the priorities and recommend the right route — so your first investment goes to the right place.

2Build momentum

Create early wins your team can see

A focused audit, an A11yShip session, a targeted training programme or a practical implementation sprint. Each one delivers something tangible — and builds the internal case for doing more.

3Sustain progress

Embed accessibility into how you work

His team's development work and compliance audits have been invaluable, and we will undoubtedly continue to rely on their support in the future."

"Mike came in and educated the workforce on the spectrum of neurodiversity, the value of neuro-inclusion in businesses and left us with key takeaways and ideas we can implement. His authenticity is what differentiates him — he approaches education by tapping into his lived experiences, connecting with the team as employees, managers and parents. I would highly recommend his services and expertise to feed into your DEI strategy and initiatives; the value he will bring is unparalleled."
