Hello,
As all of us in this email list, I believe making websites accessible for all is important.
In addition, I think that the field of web accessibility is a massive opportunity to involve and empower disabled people especially by giving them a job.
I want to train a group of 5 women with disabilities to Web accessibility report audit. They have a wide range of knowledge in web accessibility and impairment (motor, visual, cognitive, hearing). They are in long term unemployment or they struggle to set up their business because, obviously, having a disability and being a woman doesn't help...They are based in London, UK.
I know the basics of web accessibility so I can provide them with an introduction. Then, I would like to have an expert helping me on it so that they can fully run audit in web accessibility and get support.
Does anybody would like to help me with that? Or do you have any advice?
Thanks a lot!

Juliette,
e-mail me off the list and we can discuss this further. I cannot promise too much as I already have a full plate with my current job. Yet, I might be able to help out in one way or another.

Dear Juliette
I am sure you have discovered there are several free online courses for auditors if you Google web accessibility MOOCs. https://www.class-central.com/tag/web%20accessibility
The free Future Learn Digital Accessibility MOOC will be running again in October 2017. It is a mentored course so help is available if there are any questions https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/digital-accessibility/ All the content is provided with a Creative Commons licence so you can pick and choose elements that might suit your needs. http://gpii.eu/moocap/?page_idƒ9
