Useful extras

Accessibility tips

1. Use the channels' descriptive text functionality to describe images for people who are visually impaired.

2. Keep links in full rather than scrambling them with a link shortener, so users know what they are clicking on.

3. If using video content with audio, add subtitles so the video can be understood without sound.
