The DDA (1995) states it is a legal duty to ensure that web services are available to as many people as possible.

In the UK, the DDA (Disabilities Discrimination Act 1995) states the duty to take reasonable steps to supply business services or products to disabled persons (i.e. a disabled person must not be treated less favourably than anyone else).
The QM Legal website has been designed and built to be accessible to all, with our users in mind.
