United Kingdom
The UK has quite an extensive and well-developed set of eAccessibility-related legislation and other relevant policies in place. Web accessibility, telecommunications services and TV broadcasting are covered, and eAccessibility is included in public procurement and equality / anti-discrimination legislation and policy. In relation to actual levels of eAccessibility achieved to date, from a comparative perspective the situation in the UK is well above the European average.
