ALT Graphic – There are two horizontal blue bands at the top and bottom of the image. In the top blue band there are words in white text that read, “Executive Office Committee Inquiry: Gaps in equality legislation in Northern Ireland.” In the bottom blue band are the words “Your views are important to us – tell us what you think.” There is a white Assembly logo in the bottom right hand corner. In the middle of the image, between the blue bands you can see a picture of nine, vintage-style filament light bulbs. Each bulb is upright with its screw-in cap at the bottom. There is a sepia tone to the whole image. Inside each glass bulb, the light filament spells out a different word which glows in warm white. The words are disability; inclusion; orientation; equality; gender; diversity; age; differences and race.

ALT Graphic – This is a landscape-shaped image with a pale blue background. On the left, on there is white text on the blue background and on the right there is an image of the Chair of the Committee for the Executive Office, Paula Bradshaw MLA. The text at the top reads “Executive Office Committee Inquiry” in capital letters and below it, “Gaps in equality legislation in Northern Ireland.” Below that is a quote from the chair which is shown in italics. It reads: “We want to hear from a wide range of people involved in or impacted by equality legislation and ensure their views are listened to. This is the first, but a very valuable stage in gathering information for the Committee to consider.” Underneath that text is the chair’s name and title.
