[access-uk] Re: Website shutting out disbaled users

RNIB's recommendations Should make interesting and possibly amuzing reading   
Wonder if Tink Watson is up for this sort of work.  I'd trust her advice on 
this a good deal more than the chosen ones.

Subject: [access-uk] Website shutting out disbaled users


The subject was the heading of an article is Issue 189 of
"Computer Active Magazine".

It begins, "The Disability Right Commission (DRC) wants
people to tell it about websites that the disabled find
difficult to use in order to improve accessibility."

It goes on to say that the DRC, "is empowered by law to
conduct formal investigations" into such web sites.

And my goodness, the also say, "The DRC, with help from the
RNIB, has also asked the British Standards Institute to
develop clear guidance for web design."

The article quotes a telephone number for the DRC - 08457
622633 - and a web site - http://www.drc-gb.org 

Give them a call, and refer to this article in Computer
Active Magazine.

So let's be hearing all about your calls, and what they have
to say.

George.
