Using remote technology

exp date isn't null, but text field is

Remote technology can enable you to support people who cannot physically come to you, for example if they can’t travel due to a condition or lack of suitable public transport; if they have caring responsibilities, or if they have social anxieties.

Always be mindful of

  • The person’s access to remote technologies
  • Do they have a smartphone/laptop/desktop PC and wifi.
  • Be mindful that the small screen on a smartphone may not work well for one-to-one or group discussions.
  • The person’s skills and confidence in using remote technologies

Don’t forget that most people have a phone – this can be the most accessible communication option for people who can’t attend face-to-face

Zoom and MS Teams provide a range of accessibility features, for example captions for people with hearing impairments, screen readers to make calls
