Accessibility and AI at LocalGov Drupal Camp 2025: Reflections from Westminster

Staff Reporter

Andy Terry reflects on LocalGov Drupal Camp 2025, highlighting discussions on accessibility and AI that affirmed his current work at Northumberland County Council. Talks emphasised practical takeaways—like using real users for accessibility testing and aligning alt text with page context. These points echoed Andy’s own efforts on semantic structure, component reuse, and design tokens.

The AI sessions explored sitemap-driven chatbots and content-aware customer journeys, offering efficiency gains for local councils. Andy’s key takeaway is the need for dedicated accessibility panels composed of assistive tech users, not just internal testers.
