Update accessibility statement after Frontend V5 release

[dav-idc]

What

Remove items from the accessibility statement once V5 goes out. Or possibly, add a section on recently fixed pieces?

These issues will be resolved by V5:

• https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-design-system/issues/2680
• https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/3673
• https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/3674

These issues will not be resolved, and should be left on the statement:

• https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/2472
• https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/3693
• https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/3686

Resources:

• Accessibility statement page

• Previous accessibility statement update Google Doc

• Previous PR for updating the accessibility statement

  Why

  Once V5 is published, some of the issues we list in our accessibility statement should be resolved. For cleanliness and transparency, we should update the statement and remove those items.

@claireashworth Lost track of what's merged and not, did this one go in the big v5 content merge or will it go on its own now we've released. Feel free to close and set to Done if the former 😊

[claireashworth]

this isn't merged yet. I've only linked the draft doc into the issue. I think there was something outstanding to do, but would have to check

I've suggested one change as we were saying that that the Design System website was partially compliant but that nothing on the website was non-compliant, which doesn't make sense.

Have also suggested some (bad) wording for including mention of compliance against WCAG 2.2, but Claire helpfully pointed out we might have to stick to the template language.

Have finished my review and shall pass this back to Claire for writing the WCAG 2.2 lines, and move it back to In Progress.

[claireashworth]

The statement is redrafted in line with the latest accessibility template and ready for another review.

[stevenjmesser]

Reviewed. Moving back to in progress so that accessibility.md can be updated in https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-design-system/compare/main...wcag-22-content-updates.

Accessibility statement amended in PR 'WCAG 2.2 guidance updates #3090' @calvin-lau-sig7 @CharlotteDowns for info/to review This is the active issue for the accessibility statement. I've also commented on #3332, but this might be a duplicate issue.
