Following Tristram's response lack of accessibility to the
Girlsaloud web site, I'm posting a copy of what I posted to
Access-UK.
Let's not mess around folks. Get on the telephone!
George.
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.
