 The Disability Discrimination Act is in the news again this week as the 1st of October is a landmark point in the phase implementation of the act. In 12 months time the act will effectively come into full force and the small company exemptions will be removed. While the recent news articles and Radio4's Today Program interview today concentrated largely on the physical issues of access there are other equally important measures companies must undertake.
ecommnet is committed to providing accessible web sites and to encourage others to conform to W3C WAI Guidelines.
The UK's Government Minister for Disabled People was interviewed by the BBC and warned companies to 'wise up' and face up to their responsibilities or face the prospect of court action, in this litigious age we think that's sound advice.
