Finding expert reviewers

LJWatson opened this issue · comments

"You can also get general feedback from disabled users by getting experienced testers to do an expert review. The
Digital Accessibility Centre
can help find you a tester. [FACT CHECK QUESTION FOR LEONIE - HOW ELSE CAN USERS GET AN EXPERT REVIEW?]"

Most accessibility agencies can provide an expert review if asked. When I last looked into this, Nomensa, Abilitynet and DAC could all provide expert reviews by disabled and older people.

It might be worth looking into Access Works. It's a US based initiative that provides access to a global network of disabled people, able to assist with testing online services. I know the organisation behind the initiative, so could make enquiries about its suitability for Gov.UK?

Thanks Leonie.

@aduggin please see Leonie's suggestion re: Access Works. Would you mind letting me know what you think when you give me the rest of your feedback on the standard?
