Dos and don'ts on designing for accessibility

UK Home Office Digital produced these Accessibility Dos and Don’ts posters (Although they were originally created in 2016, they are updated periodically).

They’re a really useful ‘at a glance’ way to make sure that we’re all creating inclusive products and services.


Karwai Pun is an interaction designer currently working on Service Optimisation to make existing and new services better for our users. Karwai is part of an accessibility group at Home Office Digital, leading on autism.Together with the team, she’s created these dos and don’ts posters as a way of approaching accessibility from a design perspective.

I’ve always loved these posters too Eileen! I also like the Microsoft Inclusive 101 Toolkit, which talks about the continuum from permanent disabilities to situational impairments - it helps us rethink how our designs can scale to more people in new ways. https://www.microsoft.com/design/inclusive/

Most importantly, this means including and learning from people with a range of perspectives.”]
