The Government remains fully committed to supporting disabled people in the UK through creating more opportunities, protecting their rights and ensuring they fully benefit from, and can contribute to, every aspect of our society.
The National Disability Strategy (NDS) suggested ways for the Government to consider improving digital accessibility for disabled people. Following the successful appeal in the NDS Judicial Review we are considering how best to take this important work forward.
