1 Hampshire County Council's Hantsweb site has scored 100 per cent for its ease of access for people with disabilities in an assessment carried out on behalf of the Royal National Institute for the Blind. County Council is also involved in several European Union sponsored information technology projects promoting accessibility for all members of the community. It demonstrates to website designers that accessible website design is easy to put in place and is of huge benefit to disabled internet users. Access by everyone, regardless of disability is an essential aspect. This is also a civil rights issue.
Disabled people have a right to access the same information as everyone else.
With the Launch of 'Websites that Work' there is no excuse for not making your website accessible. From the start our aim was to ensure that our website was fully inclusive and accessible by all. This recognition by the RNIB that we are meeting the needs of disabled internet users with a website which is easy to navigate and provides valuable information about our services is a matter of great pride for County Councillors and our staff who have worked hard to achieve a high level of inclusiveness for disabled people.
