An accessibility statement is a short page that tells visitors where your website stands on accessibility. In Europe it is mandatory for many organizations and good practice for everyone else.
What should the statement include?
- Conformance status: The standard you are targeting (e.g. WCAG 2.2 AA) and how closely your site meets it.
- Known issues: Areas that are not yet accessible and the alternatives available for them.
- Contact: An email address or form where visitors can report a problem.
- Date: When the statement was last reviewed.
Tips
Write honestly and plainly; avoid claims like “we are fully accessible.” Make the statement reachable from every page of your site, for example from the footer, and update it at least once a year.
