Adult Social Care Glossary, v 0.6

Information about the way in which information or facilities are accessible to all citizens and the steps taken to meet the required government standards so that people can do what they need to do in a similar amount of time and effort as someone that does not have a disability.

Accessibility is the process of making web pages accessible to people with disabilities or anyone else who cannot use a computer in a conventional manner. Organisations that provide NHS or publicly-funded adult social care are legally required to follow the Accessible Information Standard but it makes sense for all to follow best practice guidelines.
