The inclusive comms checklist
get the checklist
13 pages. 6 areas. 35 practical checks across documents, websites, data, video, social and language. Enter your details and we’ll send it straight to your inbox.
This checklist covers the everyday design decisions that determine whether people can move through your content independently, comfortably and with confidence: structure, contrast, hierarchy, spacing, formats and systems.
It’s designed to be used during design and layout, as part of review or QA, before publishing, and when briefing new work – not as a one-off audit, but as a practical reference you return to.
Inside the checklist
- Key accessibility checks across documents, presentations and digital content
- Common accessibility failures and how to spot them early
- Design decisions that support clarity, comfort and independent use
- A practical review framework that doesn’t require specialist tools
Who it’s for
Designers, comms managers and decision-makers working on public-facing or regulated content – particularly if you publish reports, PDFs or digital communications, work with EU clients or partners, or want to embed accessibility into how your team works rather than retrofit it at the end.
Why it matters
Accessibility expectations are rising – under the European Accessibility Act and the UK’s own regulations. But inclusion doesn’t start with legislation. It starts with design decisions.
Design only works when people can actually use it, and is only good when everyone can participate.
