If you have the time to read this document please forward me your comments so that may be adressed to the relevant persons. http://www.iagchampions.gov.uk/wgdraftversion2.rtf is rather a large file that contains information on policy for UK governments websites. 2 recent changes that refer to WAI are noted below: 4.3 Accessibility In addition to compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act, it is vital that all potential users of government web services are able to access sites. Designers should consider carefully whether it is necessary to depart from these recommendations and, if they do, ensure that optional displays are available to permit inclusive access. an additional paragraph has been added: Designers should in addition be aware of the guidance provided by the W3Cs web accessibility initiatives on www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/ later within 4.3 http://validator.w3.org has been added after the link to bobby Testing for accessibility The site may be tested using Bobby <http://www.cast.org/bobby/> or a similar system. Although this is an automated system, it can provide helpful results. It is almost certain that there are equally serious concerns that could be raised, please comment.
