The Inklusion Guide has been out for two years, and they want to know the impact it's had.

It’s been a bit of long hiatus since they launched the guide two years ago, but they’re delighted to share the BSL version (huge thanks to Rinkoo Barpaga) and audio version of the guide with you – once again made possible by the generous support from Penguin Random House.

Their researcher, Cat Mitchell, Senior Publishing lecturer at the University of Derby, is working with them to carry out an Impact Report to measure how the Inklusion Guide has helped event organisers to improve their access provisions.

It’s thanks to the generous contribution of £4000 from the Authors' Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) that they’re able to embark on this research. They hope to demonstrate that the publishing landscape has shifted towards better inclusivity of disabled people through use and implementation of the guide’s advice.

Please give them your feedback as soon as you can by filling out this ten-minute Google Form so that they can continue to drive essential access change in the sector.

Responses are required by no later than midnight on 31st August.

If you'd like to participate in their qualitative research, and have a chat about how the guide has more specifically helped across your provisions, please email Inklusion at hello@inklusionguide.org.
