UK games trade body Ukie has teamed up with the Royal National Institute of Blind People to launch Access November, a new campaign launched under its RaiseTheGame initiative to"create meaningful cultural and behavioural change in UK game businesses".
"The aim is to inspire games industry professionals and companies to make their games and services more accessible, as well as champion representation of disabled and neurodiverse people both in the stories that games are telling and within the teams that make them," the organisation explains in a press statement.
The initiative is also keen to increase the number of disabled people working in the games industry, too, and cites that just 4 per cent of the games industry are disabled - and 18 per cent identify as as neurodiverse - when"Supporting the entry of these workers to the games industry and championing those already in games is an excellent way to foster accessibility and representation within the design of video games themselves," the statement concludes.
