Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...
ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Love the blobs and squares analogy to make the case for coproduction! Worth a watch 🙂

Fab short blog post highlighting the complexity of NHS systems and policies, and a great example how to tackle it. Lipsky’s ‘Street-level bureaucracy’ came to my mind
