Bobby Analysis Of Web Sites In The RSC Yorkshire & Humber Region

A survey of the accessibility of the home pages of Web sites in the RSC Yorkshire & Humber region has been carried out. The survey makes use of the Bobby compliance checking tool.

It is important to be aware that this survey does not say if a page is accessible - it simply reports on accessibility problems which can be detcted by an automated tool. A full accessibility audit would require amnaul checking in addition to use of automated tools.

A summary of the findings is given in the following table.

You can use the service yourself either by going to Bobby or by entering a URL in the following box:
