LO1: KTA1 Accessibility

Accessibility:

Accessibility means 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. It means that people are empowered, can be independent, and will not be frustrated by something that is poorly designed or implemented. (Allowing universal access and allowing anyone to get into it)

The equality act: 2010
