Understand the requirements of publishing an accessibility statement

What

Meet with the accessibility team to understand the requirements of an accessibility statement.

Why

So we publish the right thing.

Who needs to know about this

Amy

Further detail

There may be some strict requirements for the content that is required in a statement which should be considered.

There also is work being done elsewhere in GDS to make a format that can be used by services which we should consider finding out about.

• Public sector website accessibility statements - what you need to know
• How we’re helping public sector websites meet accessibility requirements

This would be part of the Make sure that the Design System meets WCAG 2.1 epic.

Done when

• [x] we have understood what the accessibility team recommends services do
• [x] we understand the requirements of the statement
