Planning Your Accessibility Budget for 2027

How do you decide where to focus your accessibility investment – and build a plan that delivers meaningful progress?

In this webinar, Peter Bricknell, Ali Jarvis and Liam Hassell explore how organisations can move from good intentions to a practical, prioritised accessibility roadmap.

They look at what should go into an accessibility programme, how to decide where investment will have the greatest impact, and how understanding your organisation’s current accessibility maturity can help shape what comes next.

The session also includes the introduction of HiMap, our new Accessibility Maturity Platform, which brings together our Accessibility Scorecard & Action Plan, Competitor Reputation Benchmark and Policy Compliance Review to help organisations understand where they are today and build a clearer path for improvement.

In this webinar, you’ll discover:

  • What to consider when planning accessibility investment – including training, audits, user research, remediation, governance and ongoing monitoring.
  • Why accessibility maturity matters – understanding your current position before deciding where you need to go.
  • How to prioritise what happens next – focusing effort and budget where it can have the greatest impact.
  • How benchmarking can provide valuable context – helping you understand how your organisation compares and where opportunities for improvement exist.
  • How to build a practical accessibility roadmap – connecting priorities, investment and longer-term accessibility goals.
  • How HiMap can support that process – bringing maturity assessment, competitor benchmarking and policy review together to provide a clearer picture of accessibility performance and priorities.

If you’re planning your accessibility activity for 2027, reviewing your current programme or trying to build a stronger case for investment, this webinar recording helps you think more strategically about where you are, where you want to get to and what to prioritise along the way.

And, if you’d like more information on the tools discussed in the recording, please get in touch – we’d love to help you get access to them to help you with your 2027 planning.
