Anyone who creates or commissions content for our websites must make sure it's accessible.
Accessibility
Accessibility can mean different things, depending on the situation.
When we talk about accessibility online, we mean making sure everyone can use our content. This includes people with disabilities.
Good accessible content means people can complete tasks easily, without extra time or effort. GOV.UK explains more about what accessibility means and why it matters.
Web content
Web content is any information you find on a website. This includes:
- PDFs and Word documents
- Forms and web pages
- Videos and audio
- Images, diagrams and spreadsheets
If it is online, it should be accessible.
