By claiming ‘full accessibility’ when designs are in fact merely only minimally compliant, might we be fundamentally “purplewashing” accessibility, and failing to recognise systemically unethical practice? This workshop looks at disability rights and current accessible design in professional practice, facilitating a discussion of ethical implications of compliance based practice, professional obligation and the notion of duty of care and rights-based placemaking with Jessica Noël-Smith, Founder, Beyond Access and informed by her PhD research.
