Public consultation on Delivering Inclusive Websites (TG102)
Deadline for responses: November 13, 2007
Please send responses to webguidelines@coi.gsi.gov.uk.
This guidance is an update of Chapter 2.4 of the Guidelines for UK Government
Websites [archived website].
In order to meet European objectives for inclusive e-government and so that
the UK public sector meets its obligations with regards to disability
legislation, we have proposed that all government websites must meet Level
Double-A of the W3C guidelines by December 2008.
Government websites are strongly recommended to develop an accessibility
policy to aid the planning and procurement of inclusive websites. This
includes building a business case, analysing user needs, developing an
accessibility test plan and procuring accessible content authoring tools.
The guidance covers some of the design solutions to common problems faced
by users but is mainly aimed at strategic managers and project managers to
assist with planning and procurement.
