Celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day

Why does web accessibility matter?
Version 1.0 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) launched on May 6, 1999. Recently AbilityNet reviewed them and what remains to be done.


The Higher Education (HE) and Further Education (FE) Accessibility Maturity Model, created by AbilityNet and McNaught Consultancy, enables you to judge the maturity of your organisation's digital accessibility. He also recently produced a 4 part blog on how to get the maturity to evolve and develop at an organisation.
