Valuing ability: demonstrating inclusivity in action 

Winner of acheiving inclusivity for learners of all aptitudes and abilities. E-Learning Awards 2005

“Valuing Ability” was developed to drive home the fact that most disabled people are actually only 'disabled' by society, by the environment and by society’s preconceptions of their ability. 

This project won the category for the Award for the care taken to achieve inclusivity in an e-learn ing programme for users of all aptitudes and abilities at the 2005 e-Learning Awards.  Their submission described how they – together with their e-learning partner, Saffron Interactive – engineered “Valuing Ability” to ensure it not only educated employees about the social, legal and business issues around disability, but also set a standard for designing web-based communications and e-learning to provide true accessibility.
