Hi Dorothy here I meant to post yesterday , I did phone the Law society in
Chancery lane   was put through to the Voice mail of  someone called Judith,
someone may I hope phone  I then had another go at RNIB to see if Liz
Woskett was back, again was put through to voice mail  At least Liz must be
back, she has been off a lot, you know the  failure of the  DRC Conciliation
arm which went into Receivership in October 2006  meant all cases were
held up and they did not take on any new cases for months, those in the
Pipeline had to bee  coped with as you only get 6 months minus 1 day to
lodge your complaint. how do I know I had had an argument with a Bank,  and
just got it sorted was  phoning Bristol to thank Meredith and  phones lines
were dead,  people forget that the DRC outsource  some Departments and they
are like individual companies and if they  run out of money they go bust I
was  surprised since the  only efficient part of the procedure was the
Conciliation arm, Stratford arm lost my mail twice, Manchester did same
thing,   it was sad the  most efficient went bust.  Regarding the DSL
Disability Laws service in Cavil street Mrs Murphy seems to be on permanent
holiday and when I spoke to a Secretary,  I picked up  a feeling they may
wind up themselves. Mrs Murphy you remember if you ever spoke to her,she is
one tough lady I asked her  regarding the DRC "do they Cherry-pick"  she
said " of course they do, they  do not have much money,  its simple to churn
out Legislation  under the DDA Act but if the DRC has  insufficient money
Well? that is the problem it sounds great get the DRC to take it up under
DDA act, you need  your politicians to put pressure on the Government to
back up the Law with  Money,  I have been having a go at my Mp, sorry I
cannot be bearer of less  depressing news.

I did say the other day not one solicitor  I contacted in  my town knew a
thing about DDA act  even  that they as Professionals  had to comply with
information  in my preferred format.
I was told it would take ages and cost me a lot more,that is why I wanted
the Law Society to  impress the DDA on their own Members. Sorry about
spelling Liz surname   is bound to be wrong

David,



I'm given to understand Libra is a Citrix based application which means
that
the information isn't text based but is held as an image on the server.
I'm

unable to try Libra with Jaws at work as firstly all the user licences
have
been allocated so they've refused me any access.  Secondly the Libra
package

is a UK wide application hosted on the CPS server and where I work we
don't
have access to it for test purposes as where I work we only access it for
court

case results.  So unless you are with the CPS gaining permission to get
something like access software put on to their server might be difficult.
You

know how they are always full of excuses like they're concerned that
access
software might either be a security risk or, cause their precious package
to

not work correctly.  Absolute bullshit.  So if you're given this tale then
take them to a court case for discrimination.  I've had experience of
working

for government departments in other countries and they treat their
employees
very well but here in the UK government departments despite saying they're

an equal opportunities employer they do the bear minimum when it comes to
making reasonable adjustments just so that they can say they're within the
law

so that if a disabled employee takes them to a court case or arbitration
they can say they've done what's necessary that way getting out of their
proper

responsibilities and still being whiter than white.  Despite DDA
legislation
this happens time and time again.

Hi Folks,

Apologies for the cross posting. Can anyone using Jaws and working
in the law field please contact me. I need advice regarding software
which my employer uses and whether or not jaws will be compatible with
this
software program.

Apologies once again.

Regards.

Matty.
