A person with an impairment will often visit your accessibility statement first. They want to check if there are any areas they won't be able to access. Find out what the alternatives are and who to contact if they have issues.
Your statement needs to in plain english so everyone can understand it. Not everyone is an accessibility or web expert. It is also good practice to link to your statement from every page on your website, in the footer for example. Finally, the statement itself must be accessible.
Based on the Government Digital Service (GDS) accessibility requirements. We have created a sample accessibility statement to help you meet the requirements. Plus give your users an accessible experience. To know where the issues lie, you'll need to carryout an audit of your site. You can complete the audit yourself, we can audit your site for you [LINK], or you can use third party. . Any issues found do not need completing before uploading your accessibility statement. You do need to give a timeframe of when the fixes will be complete.
Our recommended third parties are:- Shaw Trust
