With this in mind, we thought it was time to revisit the key details, emphasise the importance of accessibility to public sector information, and outline steps your public sector organisation can take to ensure you comply.<\/p><p>Access to public sector information is especially important in light of recent world events. The Covid-19 pandemic has confined a significant percentage of UK citizens to their homes, making access to information particularly difficult for the elderly, disabled and vulnerable, further highlighting the need for equality when it comes to the accessibility of information online. We have touched on this previously with reference to <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/news\/how-utility-companies-can-help-customers-in-vulnerable-circumstances-during-lockdown\">how utility companies can help customers in vulnerable circumstances during lockdown<\/a>, and many of the same principles apply when discussing public sector information.<\/p><h2><strong>The Story So Far<\/strong><\/h2><p>In September 2018 the new accessibility regulations for public sector websites and applications came into force, making it essential that providers of public services and facilities make their online information accessible to all. Public sector services are many and varied and include local authorities, law enforcement, healthcare providers, emergency services, education institutions, infrastructure suppliers, and transport providers.<\/p><p>The new regulations came with two deadlines for compliance:<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f New public sector websites published on or after the regulations came into force in September 2018 needed to follow the principles of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/WAI\/standards-guidelines\/wcag\/\">Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 accessibility Level AA<\/a> by 23 September 2019.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f Existing websites published before the regulations came into force in September 2018 must meet the new accessibility standards by 23 September 2020.<\/p><h2><strong>What do the New Regulations Entail?<\/strong><\/h2><p>The web content accessibility guidelines are based on four cornerstone principles that allow anyone to access and use web content. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/download\/guide-to-uk-public-sector-website-and-app-accessibility-laws\">download a full guide to the regulations here<\/a>, but some of the key points include:<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f Using alt text tags for all images and videos.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f Using high contrast between text and background.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f Adding web accessibility software.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f Making documents such as PDFs, Microsoft Word docs, and any other online forms accessible.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f Ensuring page headings are displayed correctly.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f Allowing people using screen readers to easily navigate around the website.<\/p><h2><strong>Why is it Important to Comply?<\/strong><\/h2><p>To answer a question with a question, who wouldn\u2019t want as many people as possible to be able to access and use their website? But of course, there is more to it than that\u2026<\/p><p>As the new rules are now official government legislation, public sector bodies must act to ensure their websites and apps comply with the requirements, otherwise they may face enforcement action and will also run the risk of significant damage to their reputations. So it is important to run a basic accessibility test before publishing any new public sector website or app.<\/p><p>Aside from the potential for financial and reputational repercussions, there are several other motivating factors for public sector bodies to observe the new requirements:<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/healthandsocialcare\/disability\/articles\/nearlyoneinfivepeoplehadsomeformofdisabilityinenglandandwales\/2015-07-13\"> Nearly one in five people in the UK have some form of disability<\/a> that could affect their capacity to access information.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/peoplepopulationandcommunity\/birthsdeathsandmarriages\/ageing\/articles\/livinglongerhowourpopulationischangingandwhyitmatters\/2018-08-13#how-is-the-uk-population-changing\">The UK has an ageing population<\/a>, and the aged are some of the heaviest users of many public sector services such as transport provision, healthcare services, and local authority schemes.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f The older we get the more likely we are to develop a disability, and a 2019 study revealed that only 60% of local authority websites\u2019 home pages were accessible to people with disabilities.<\/p><p style=\"margin-left: 36pt\">\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u20ac\u201d\u00c2\u008f With Covid-19 restrictions still in place and many citizens still in lockdown, accessibility to public sector information online is more important than ever.<\/p><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h2><strong>How can Recite Me Help?<\/strong><\/h2><p>Hundreds of companies already use <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/\">Recite Me<\/a> software to make their websites more accessible to readers, including many healthcare providers, education institutions, and other organisations within the public sector.
