Petition for Accessible Government Websites
Last year, No. 10 created a website to create petitions.
Ian Fenn has created this one:
In June 2006 the DTI launched their new website. Despite an approximate
cost of £200,000, the website failed to meet basic accessibility
standards. In short, this meant that the information on the website was
inaccessible to some UK citizens - this is absolutely inexcusable.
Further work (requiring further taxpayer money) was promised to bring
the website up to Level AA of the Web Accessibility Initiative. The
purpose of this petition is to ensure that all future government
websites meet basic accessibility requirements from launch.
