We aim to make BOU events as inclusive as possible and ask presenters to assist us in this respect.

Colour blind aware
Colourblindness is one of the key issues impacting on the enjoyment of those participating with any event (in-person and online) and we will continue to address this with presenters for all our events.

Many speakers don’t appreciate the need for their slides and graphics to be easily readable by all of the audience. We therefore ask all presenters to check their presentations and be colour blind aware.

Useful resources are:

• Accessibility in PowerPoint: Presentations for people with colour blindness
• How to Design for Color Blindness
• Coloring for Colorblindness
• Useful colour blind friendly palettes
• Test your slides/graphics for colour blindness
• ColorOracle – design for the color impaired
• Colour Blind Awareness organisation
