Conduct + implement changes for accessibility audit

[ShannonTrust]

Ask your question here.

I've been wanting to sort out an accessibility statement since you did the accessibility audit for us last year but it keeps slipping down my to do list. Do you have any tips of what we could include in it based on the audit you did for us? What level of WCAG do we meet? Any support would be really appreciated.

Hey @ShannonTrust - good question!
To be honest, since there have been changes since last year, I think the best thing to do would be to run a very lightweight accessibility audit to ensure that the accessibility statement is up to date and that there isn't anything big that we are overlooking. Are you happy for us to take a couple of hours to do so?

I think that would be a good idea, @cyberteenie, and possibly something we should consider doing every 6 to 12 months. Happy for you to go ahead with the audit when you get a chance.

Great! We will put that into the pipeline. :)

Hi @ShannonTrust.
I have completed the accessibility audit and have stored it in our Shared Notion.

The good news is that there is nothing major! Mainly small tidy up actions that we can complete within the next month. Although they are all small changes, they require us to manually go through the website page by page. I reckon this will take around 3 days of development time, up to a maximum of 5.

After making those changes, we will definitely meet the WCAG 2.2 AA level. AAA level is a bit more in depth, and may require a further estimate for enhancements, which we can provide after ensuring we first meet AA.

Let me know if you have any questions!
