For regulated organisations, accessibility is part of whether a journey works in practice. It shapes how clearly customers can move through each step, complete key tasks, and get the support they need.

When disabled customers cannot read, navigate, verify, recover, or get help in the way that works for them, the service creates unnecessary barriers and falls short of basic usability.

In this episode of Regulated Digital, Diane Lightfoot, CEO of Business Disability Forum, explains why disabled customers still face avoidable barriers in communications, service design, and customer support, and what firms in regulated sectors can do differently.

The central takeaway is simple: build for choice, clarity, and real-world use from the start, and you reduce friction for disabled customers, lower the cost of retrofitting, and create journeys that work better for everyone.
