The service is aimed at people of working age (16-65 years) who have information needs relating to jobs, benefits and social support. Making the kiosks as accessible as possible helps the organisation's goal of promoting self-service whilst also allowing Jobcentre Plus advisers to spend time with customers who need more help. The findings of the study reveal a generally positive attitude towards the kiosks by users from these disability groups, but also highlight a range of practical steps needed to improve the accessibility and usability of the service.", pages = "193-204(12)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/dwp/joped/2006/00000008/00000002/art00003" }
