Is reported not to have a link to an accessibility statement, but it is there.

The scraper just reports ["about"] being there.

Is this accurate, or is there a problem with the script?

Hi @mgifford. Thanks for reaching out!!!

We also noticed this happening across a number of va.gov sites and what we realized is the footer on these sites is built in a somewhat less common way. Our required links scans looks for standard hyperlinks (a la <a href="URL">text</a>), but the footers on this site are built with something they call 'live JSON injection'. The result is a false negative.

We've done one pass at trying to think about an elegant solution, but didn't have any luck yet, so this remains an open issue but we've also highlighted it with the va.gov team and they may actually shift to a bit more traditional model of coding their footers.

I'm glad you're diving into our data. Feel free to reach out to site-scanning@gsa.gov if you ever want to talk about the data more or if you have more feedback on how our data could be improved!
