We are proud to be supporting Government Services Week 2020; a week of cross-government events that look at how we can all work together to deliver end-to-end, user-centred services.

Join us on 3rd and 7th February at our purpose-built event space in Leeds City Centre for a series of engaging, interactive talks and workshops.

3rd February

Mastering silos to connect with policy teams

Do you struggle to connect with your policy colleagues? Do they inexplicably delay or veto design decisions?

In this session I will be sharing the policymaker’s side of the story, based on a blog post I published on 17 January.

We will explore the work of policymakers and get their reflections on user-centred design. You’ll also get some great hacks for engaging with your policy colleagues more successfully in the future.

This session will run from 13:00 until 14:00 at The Hippocampus. Book your place.

7th February

Accessibility Workshop

In this engaging, interactive session you’ll learn about the importance of making services accessible and you will get to build empathy with a range of accessibility needs through simulation activities.

The session will be led by Fern Williams and Will Turner PhD, both experienced User Researchers and passionate advocates for accessible design

This session will run from 10:00 until 12:00 at The Hippocampus. Book your place.

Designing for Identity

As organisations increasingly move their face-to-face transactions online they face new challenges to increase quality while protecting their services and their users.

In our final session of the week Darren Hutton and Sally Henstock will explore those challenges and demonstrate how they can be overcome, using specific examples of the techniques and design approaches we use with our clients.

Darren and Sally are working for the NHS to build a digital identity and verification product that enables patients to access their healthcare records — NHS login.

This session will run from 15:00 until 16:00 at The Hippocampus. Book your place.
