Some cultural references are not directly translatable, so for consistency and as we welcome many international guests, English language caters for the vast majority of our visitors. After becoming Accessibility Lead in the Ministry of Justice Digital and Technology (MoJ D&T) in April 2021, I wanted to make sure I set aside time to read and hear about the experiences of disabled people.
