Collaborate with story telling team to share learnings from our A11y statement process

[YedidaZalik]

As CDS or public service staff, I need to be able to create accessible products so that these products can be used by everyone for whom they are intended.

WHY are we building? We learned so much from updating our A11y statement that could be helpful to other products.

WHAT are we building? A blog post that describes how updating our Accessibility statement led to a more accessible Notify

VALUE created by our solution Other teams can use our learnings
