Website accessibility statement: what to include

A useful statement explains scope, known limitations, review date, and a contact route.

Describe status without overpromising

The statement should reflect the real state of the website rather than copying generic wording. Keep automatic checks, manual review, and remaining work separate.

Statement checklist

Turn these checks into a repeatable task for design, content, and development.

  • Identify the website, scope, and review date.
  • State the standard or reference used.
  • Explain known limitations concretely.
  • Provide a contact and response route.
  • Define when it will be reviewed or updated.

Next step

Update it when templates, key journeys, or representative evaluation results change.
