An accessibility statement isn’t just an auto-generated ‘get out of jail free’ card at the end of an accessibility audit. It’s a key part of your accessibility communication strategy to your customers who have disabilities. Our Accessibility Statement Creation Workshop combines expert guidance, accessibility review and practical drafting support to help you create meaningful accessibility statements aligned with best practice and ISO 30071-1 principles.

Done badly, accessibility statements create confusion, risk and frustration. Done well, they demonstrate transparency, builds trust and provides practical support for users who may need assistance.

Led by the team who wrote the specification of what an accessibility statement should be in the British Standard BS 8878 and the International Standard ISO 30071-1, we’ll help you communicate accessibility in a way that makes sense to users, while supporting your organisation’s objectives.

Client quote: “That’s really good insight on the human side of writing accessibility statements. I would never have thought of that.” – UX Research Manager, Retail Sector
