[senit] SENIT notices

Hello everyone,

The notices are appearing rather late this week because the original posting
was withheld by the BECTa system, as it had a ‘suspicious header’ – no idea
why. However, better late than never
. 

There are two announcements for you this week, from Laura Cryer of Inclusive
Technology [laura.cryer at btinternet.com] and David Banes, Director of
Development at AbilityNet [david.banes at abilitynet.org.uk].
