Hi again which country are things better? I cannot find an email right now from a very reliable source in USA, but when their Legislation was altered to make things better for VIPs, the outcome was that Unemployment figures for those VIPs from I think ages 45 to 55 years of age increased several fold it seemed the Employers were concerned the improved Legislation for the VIPs would cost them more money and they stopped wanting to employ VIPs due to this.So what can you do? people are also scared if they do run the full Legal hurdle they will be marked out in the minds of future employees as trouble makers, this last is a real worry . Now if can get any help from the DRC I shouldbe very surprised. Can he get legal aid? Can he afford to sue himself? The cards are stacked and Yes it is not fair. re Pinsent Mason he could try on Monday speaking to Struan Robertson, they are in EdinburghMatthew ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Holmes" <steve.holmes1@xxxxxxxxxx>

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.



Steve

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.
