Gov Website Accessibility, It's Time to Get Started!

As 2024 kicks off, government organisations need to plan their budgets. Improving website accessibility should be a crucial consideration! It’s not just about ticking boxes; it’s a legal obligation. Yet, research by Scope found that 90% of county council websites failed to meet regulations – don’t let your organisation be part of that statistic.

Website Accessibility is a Legal Requirement for Governments

The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Devices) Accessibility Regulations states that “public sector bodies must comply with the accessibility requirement” to make websites perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust. In other words, comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2.
