[Sigia-l] Accessibility guidelines in Great Britain

[Katrin Gehrke]

Hi,

maybe someone is familiar with this issue:
We are checking the current law regarding accessibility in Great Britain. 
The "Code of Practice" (2002) by the Disability Rights Commission 
regulates that "reasonable adjustments" for disabled persons have to be 
carried out.
This regulation includes web sites, even if the web site is maintained by 
a private enterprise.

Now my question: What exactly are "reasonable adjustments" in regard to 
web sites? 
We are familiar with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) by 
the W3C. 
Are "reasonable adjustments" conform with priority 1 (must), 2 (should) or 
3 (may) of the WCAG?

Thanks in advance,
Katrin Gehrke
