Part 3 of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) requires every business, large or small to become more user-friendly to Britain's 10 million disabled people.
The measures apparently cover websites.
I wondered if any one has taken action on your web sites yet? Does anyone know a company that specialises in this for web sites? Comments would be helpful

Modern Windows based computers have a range of accessories built in to allow for text vocalising and screen magnification, etc.(Look in 'programmes'/'accessibility'in your start menu.
(Can't speak for Apple Mac, perhaps someone else could inform?)
DDA expects "reasonable adjustments". If Web pages are read from PCs which generically have these disability access adjustments built in, surely this is sufficient?

You also need to consider training videos and risk assessment software that are delivered on the Intranet for staff. Incidentally I don't know of any risk assessment software that is compliant for DDA purposes.
There are a number of companies around who do website accessibility. Some are better than others. Try Abilitynet, Sickpixels.
