Workshop series: inspecting WCAG 2.2

As part of the GOV.UK Design System team, I facilitated a series of workshops on three of the new criteria in WCAG 2.2. I specifically selected criteria that can be a bit more complex to navigate.

The three workshops were each attended by approximately 200 people and were hosted remotely through Zoom video conferencing.

Each workshop was 2 hours long and consisted of approximately 10 segments:

  1. Welcome
  2. Introduction to WCAG 2.2
  3. Information about the workshop series
  4. Explanations of the WCAG criteria being inspected
  5. Tips on how to inspect websites to find places that might fail the specific WCAG criteria
  6. Demonstrations of the WCAG criteria in action
  7. An interactive ‘breakout’ activity
  8. Sharing findings from the activity
  9. Questions and final thoughts
  10. Wrap-up
