UKOLN AHDS QA Focus in-house QA: Policy on Accessibility



QA Focus Policy

Area:
Accessibility
Policy:
QA Focus will seek to achieve WAI single A compliance.
QA Focus will seek to usability test the QA Focus Web site.
Justification:
It is important that you allow all users to access your Web site regardless of available technology and disability.
Responsibilities:
The QA Focus project manager is responsible for this policy. The QA Focus Web editor is responsible for ensuring that appropriate procedures are deployed.
Exceptions:
Resources which are derived automatically from other formats (such as MS PowerPoint) need not comply with standards. In cases where compliance with this policy is felt to be difficult to implement the policy may be broken. However in such cases the project manager must give agreement and the reasons for the decision must be documented.

Procedures For Ensuring Compliance

We will implement the following procedures on accessibility to ensure that the policies are implemented.
