SAIF: British Standards Institution and SAIF
Added on Tuesday 10 Nov 2009
The SAIF Standards working group recently met with a representative from the British Standards Institute, (BSI), who travelled up from London for the meeting.
It was very useful and provided lots of informatin about what is going on in BSI regarding accessibilty standards.
Two SAIF members will now get involved in the work of BSI to raise the profile of accessibility where they can.

SAIF's ecommunication working group is currently reviewing the "Making Information Accessible" series of checklists to make them even more useful and in line with current legislation. They will be available in hard copy and to download from February 2010. The existing checklists are still available from our publications page.
SAIF is also reviewing its in-house training courses and a flyer will be sent out in the New Year. Sign up for our ebulletin to make sure you receive a copy. In the meantime keep an eye on our training page for updates.
SAIF's Guide to User-led Reviews has been piloted by 2 organisations, FAIR and Fife Traumatic Brain Injury Service, to carry out a review of their services with the full involvement of their service users. To read their findings check out our publications page
