Video: Heritage Access 2022, VocalEyes

As part of VocalEyes’s Heritage Access 2022 project, 61 digital volunteers were recruited from across the UK to assess the websites of over 3,000 museum and heritage sites, checking both accessibility of the site and the access information each organisation provides to support and enable visits to their venue by D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people. The project actively recruited volunteers with personal experience of access barriers.
