What goes into an accessibility statement
The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative suggests covering a few basics, and the generated statement follows that shape:
- Commitment: a short sentence on why accessibility matters to your organization.
- Conformance status: the standard (WCAG 2.1 AA, WCAG 2.2 AA, EN 301 549) and whether you are fully, partially or not yet conformant.
- Known issues: the barriers you know about. When we have a scan of your site, its critical and major issues are listed here.
- Feedback: an email address (and optionally a phone number) for reporting problems, with the response time you can keep.
- Technical details and assessment approach: the technologies the site relies on and how you tested it.
Publishing a statement does not make a website conformant, and an automated scan is only a starting point. Before you put the text online, check it against your own manual tests. Want to write it by hand instead? Our accessibility statement template walks through each section.
Accessibility statement FAQ
What is an accessibility statement?
A public page that says how accessible your website is: the standard you measured it against (for example WCAG 2.2 AA), how far you conform, the barriers you already know about, and how people can report a problem. The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative publishes guidance on what to include.
Is an accessibility statement a legal requirement?
For public sector websites in the EU, yes: Article 7 of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 requires public sector bodies to publish and regularly update one, using the model set by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1523. The European Accessibility Act works differently for businesses: Article 13 and Annex V of Directive (EU) 2019/882 require service providers to explain how their service meets the accessibility requirements, in their general terms and conditions or an equivalent document. A statement page is a common way to make that information easy to find, but it does not replace a legal review.
Does a generated statement make my website compliant?
No. A statement documents where your site stands; it does not change it. Conformance depends on the site itself meeting the standard. Automated scans only catch part of the issues, so the statement should also reflect manual checks and testing with assistive technologies.
How often should I update my accessibility statement?
Whenever the site or its known issues change in a meaningful way. For EU public sector bodies, Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1523 encourages a review at least once a year, and the model statement records the date it was last reviewed.
