sorry Mathew, had a knee jerk reaction you ask for help and I ask you. Practical thing is to ask the supportive Agencies,abilitynet for example or as mentioned RNIB or Suppliers to look your company software over on site and give an Opinion. Also action for the Blind? dorothy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorothy Ingram-Gorban" <dorothy.ingram-gorban@xxxxxxxxx>

Looking for someone working in the Law field and using access technologyHallo Mathew You could try the legal Department of the Rnib, Liz would know but think she is still away I have a feeling there is an Association for Vip solicitors you could try the Law society there several Branches.
Last year I did contact them needing after a Landslip some information, it was this and I hope it will not depress you I had phoned half a dozen solicitors in this town and asked them if I were to use their services were they aware that if I required information in audio format I should like to know it would be given. I was met with gasps of astonishment, Oh that will cost much more and take a long time. So I phoned the Law Society to ask what steps were they taking to make sure that under the DDA Act even professionals are obliged to comply, that means accountants as well. Law Society said they did not know, I asked again and asked if they themselves were not required to make sure that their Members were notified of the DDA Act and their compliance. I was sent a stack of papers about how to make a complaint about a Solicitor. I phoned back and said,do not want to have to complain and what is your position lot of waffle produced "I think we are drafting something but I cant be sure then I phoned Liz at Rnib she said Professionals had been covered under DDA act since 1996, Mrs Murphy of the DSl in cavil street said Nonsense it was 95 well now Mrs Murphy seems on permanent holiday Sorry but if you do contact the Law Society you could sound them out on what they claimed to be drafting and let me know?
