Meeting accessibility requirements
All digital services we create must:
- meet level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) as a minimum
- work on the most commonly used assistive technologies - including screen magnifiers, screen readers and speech recognition tools
- include people with disabilities in user research
- have an accessibility statement that explains how accessible the service is - you need to publish this when the service moves into public beta
The plain English version of the WCAG 2.1 guidelines simplifies the accessibility requirements.
