Episode 3 – Accessibility Unlocked
Beyond Compliance: Lessons in Accessibility from Roger Firman
Welcome to this episode of ‘Accessibility Unlocked’. In this episode, we are joined by Roger Firman, Vice-Chair of UKAAF and a global leader in Braille music accessibility, to explore what accessibility looks like beyond standard frameworks.
The discussion examines how accessibility standards intersect with real-world practice, why specialized formats demand deeper expertise, and how inclusive outcomes are built through collaboration rather than compliance alone.
Accessibility conversations often focus on regulations, checklists, and technical requirements. But meaningful inclusion is shaped just as much by lived experience, subject-matter expertise, and global collaboration—especially when accessibility extends into complex and specialized content.
