Access Creatives is a varied list of creative people; artists, designers, illustrators and so on. Their work is either easy to see, or uses other senses. If you are recruiting for a creative project and accessibility is important, there may be someone on this list who can assist you.
Create Vision UK can work with you to develop learning materials that are well designed and visually clear. To cater for students with visual impairment, please see our Accessible Learning Materials page, or contact to find out more: info@createvisionuk.com
