As a user-led organisation, run by, for and employing disabled people, it was critical that our new system was fully accessible and met W3C level 2 criteria. We therefore employed Jim Byrne as an independent consultant to fully analyse and test our new website to ensure that it met the high standards for web accessibility which we specified to our IT company. Jim’s expertise was invaluable, he guided us through this complex area provided a bridge to translate our user voice into technical specifications and standards, we were very pleased with his work.
