• Building skills. We share our knowledge and experiences, and provide tailored advice.
• Innovation. We test new policy ideas and new ways of delivering services.
The first player to get RNIB Surf Right accreditation
“We believe it must be the most accessible player available for use on the web.”

How does it work?
• Stand-alone product• Adobe Flash 9• PHP/MySQL• Videos can be managed by non-technical staff• Searchable video hub, but films can be linked directly
How much does it cost?
Nothing
So what’s the catch?
What it doesn’t do:• Make all your media magically accessible
What it does do:• Provide the most accessible experience for all your
users• Provide a framework to allow you to more easily support
their needs
