Inclusive Digital Zones

The zones are equipped with cutting-edge technology, including screen readers, magnification software, and speech recognition tools. They have been carefully designed to include features such as accessible seating and adjustable desks, as well as volunteer digital champions who can offer support to those who need help getting online.

 

The Inclusive Digital Zones have been made possible in partnership and consultation with the LBBD Sensory Team, The Royal National Institute of Blind People and the Good Things Foundation.
