Your BATA Council members, Graham Coiley (Amanotech), Ian Litterick (Iansyst) and Mark McCusker (Texthelp) have been working on our response to the BIS consultation "Targeted Support for Higher Education Students".

| No dogs please – we’re BATA |
|
A few years ago a senior RM executive was scouting for accessible software for the Tesco scheme and asked if my company had any for them. “No dogs please!” she added.
This brings us neatly to the requests for BATA to endorse particular products. A subset of the council, led by BATA Chairman Mark McCusker, has produced a single page policy on endorsements by BATA. You can read it here |
