[Accessibility] Post event reflections

[Jessica Cahill]

Hi there,

Thank you to people who came to the networking session at TechSharePro at the end of last year. Unfortunately we don't seem to have the recording of the session available, but it was an interesting discussion and I have written up some thoughts on the AbilityNet blog<https://abilitynet.org.uk/news-blogs/maps-and-accessibility-techsharepro-2021> - not so much about the event itself but generally about maps and accessibility.

There's a lot more to say on the subject, so do feel free to respond, either here or on Twitter<https://twitter.com/daisygrubber/status/1494332004568948745?s=20&t=0RtkxY69Ra_vvizmxgjpwQ>.

For those in Europe, PSBAR is the UK version of the legislation which all European (and recently ex-European) countries have adopted, that public sector websites must meet WCAG 2.1 AA.

Kind regards,

Jessica Cahill
