This private Group has been formed to facilitate discussion of a framework for accessible IT procurement in business, government, education and any other relevant sectors. Members come from government departments and the private sector, as well as voluntary bodies representing various disability groups.

The main objectives of the Interest Group are as follows:
1) to establish how compliance with an accessibility framework can be mandated within the IT procurement policies of employers and others
2) to work towards the best practical accessibility standards and/or guidelines for IT interfaces, for application within the procurement framework
3) to recommend testing and evaluation methods so that compliance with the accessibility framework can be measured objectively.

The Group is currently moderated by Sally Cain (RNIB).
