This event attracted an audience of around 100 and was of particular interest to those involved in web based applications, systems development and anyone who wanted to ensure their organisation is current on new accessibility standards.

BS 8878 Web accessibility, Code of Practice is the first British Standard to address the growing challenge of digital inclusion and is referenced in the UK’s government’s e-Accessibility Action plan.

Its publication is especially timely given that the new Equality Act 2010 places an obligation on information providers to ensure their web products are accessible.
