Disability Rights Commission

http://www.drc.gov.uk/

Nominated in Modernising government award category.

The Disability Rights Commission (DRC) has one key goal: "A society where all disabled people can participate fully as equal citizens". An independent body, it provides advice to individuals, employers, and service providers, through support groups, help lines and campaigns.

This entry demonstrates that www.drc.gov.uk has made a significant contribution to public understanding of web accessibility and usability issues. The innovative features of this site are truly ground breaking and in turn have helped the DRC become an exemplar in the field of accessibility in the UK and allowed them to leave a powerful example for others to follow.
