Why inclusive and accessible communications matter
Research continues to show that marketing and communication can enhance experiences or restrict disabled people from being active.
There are approximately 16 million people with impairments and long-term health conditions in the UK. This is one in five of our population. As with any other large group, there can be no one-size-fits-all approach to how or what is communicated with disabled people. There are still a number of different factors that can prevent groups of people from receiving communications. This is despite the advances in technology.
The way in which some disabled people access communications may be different to non-disabled people. Some people need another way or experience ‘barriers’ to accessing information.
