Spot on, Steve!

Again, I'm not a lawyer, but we had a great lawyer on our team who advised us when we created the advice on creating accessibility statements in the British Standards for Web Accessibility, BS 8878.

The main thing, from our perspective, was to work out who the accessibility statement is for, and why would they bother reading it.

Find my summary of that advice at: http://www.hassellinclusion.com/2012/05/write-accessibility-statement/

Best regards

Jonathan

I concur. The one I made for our agency, though it's §508 rather than ADA, speaks to the end user/customer/employee:http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/webapp?area=home&;subject=as&topic=landing
