Six blockers that undermine your accessibility programme, and how ISO 30071‑1 ​can clear them​

Many organisations don’t struggle with accessibility because they don’t care.

They struggle because the same organisational blockers keep getting in the way.

From fragmented leadership buy-in and unclear ownership to capability gaps, inconsistent processes and reactive ways of working, these challenges can make accessibility programmes slow, difficult to sustain and hard to scale.

In this webinar, Peter Bricknell explains how ISO 30071-1 provides a practical framework for identifying what’s holding your organisation back and creating a clear path forward. Rather than focusing on technical compliance alone, the Standard complements WCAG by addressing the organisational foundations needed to embed accessibility successfully across teams, processes and governance.

You’ll learn about the six accessibility blockers we see most often, the key elements of ISO 30071-1, and how to use the Standard as a diagnostic tool to identify both the symptoms and their underlying causes. Pete also explores how organisations can use ISO 30071-1 to strengthen leadership alignment, improve planning and governance, build internal capability, and track meaningful progress over time.

You’ll also see practical examples of how embedding accessibility into everyday processes can reduce rework, improve efficiency, increase return on investment, and help build a stronger, more resilient accessibility programme.

Whether you’re just beginning your accessibility journey or looking to move beyond reactive fixes, this webinar offers practical advice to help you build a more confident, measurable, organisation-wide approach to accessibility.
