Accessibility Playbook
A practical guide to everyday accessibility and inclusion.
Creating an accessible and inclusive workplace is about more than policies or compliance. It requires people to recognise barriers, understand their impact and make better decisions as part of everyday work. The Accessibility Playbook gives your organisation practical guidance, tools and conversation starters that help build awareness, support consistent decision making and encourage more inclusive ways of working. Whether used on its own or alongside our workshop and learning program, it provides a practical reference that teams can return to whenever they need it.
What it is
The Accessibility Playbook is a practical digital resource designed to help organisations build accessibility awareness into everyday work. It brings together clear guidance, real-world examples, checklists and simple actions that employees can use to make more inclusive decisions.
Rather than focusing on legislation or technical standards, the Playbook helps people understand how everyday choices can create or remove barriers. It can be used to support onboarding, team discussions, leadership conversations and ongoing improvement, giving organisations a practical reference they can return to whenever accessibility questions arise.
Why it matters
Many organisations genuinely want to become more inclusive, but good intentions do not always translate into consistent action. Accessibility is often treated as a specialist responsibility, which can leave employees unsure what to do, worried about making mistakes or unaware of the barriers their everyday decisions can create.
The Accessibility Playbook helps close that gap by giving people practical guidance they can understand and apply.
Builds confidence
Gives employees a clearer understanding of accessibility so they can make better decisions without feeling they need specialist expertise.
Creates consistency
Provides a shared reference point that helps teams approach accessibility in a more consistent way across the organisation.
Supports everyday decisions
Turns accessibility from an occasional compliance exercise into something people can consider in meetings, communications, processes, technology and customer interactions.
Makes accessibility easier to discuss
Gives teams practical language, examples and prompts that make accessibility conversations more approachable and less intimidating.
Strengthens organisational culture
Helps reinforce the idea that accessibility is part of how good work is designed, rather than something considered only when a problem arises.
Provides a foundation for improvement
Creates a practical starting point that can support broader learning, policy, design and accessibility initiatives over time.
