Website Accessibility Statement

A Website Accessibility Statement is a public declaration by a website owner or operator, outlining their commitment to making their website accessible to people with disabilities, and the steps they have taken or plan to take to achieve that goal. The statement typically acknowledges the importance of web accessibility, and the legal and ethical obligations to provide equal access to information and services online. The statement may also describe the specific accessibility standards, guidelines, or best practices that the website aims to follow, such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The statement may also provide information about the accessibility features and accommodations available on the website, such as alternative text for images, keyboard navigation, or compatibility with assistive technologies. The purpose of a Website Accessibility Statement is to demonstrate the website’s commitment to inclusion and diversity, and to provide transparency and accountability to users with disabilities and their advocates. Website Accessibility Statements are often posted on a website’s homepage or accessibility page, and may be updated periodically to reflect changes or improvements in the website’s accessibility.
