Make it usable by everyone
Websites, apps and services must work for disabled people, to WCAG 2.1 AA.
What to put in place
Test the site and app against WCAG 2.1 AA, fix what fails and give people a way to report problems.
Policy wording you can use
[your organisation] builds its website and apps to WCAG 2.1 AA (EN 301 549), tests them before release and fixes accessibility problems reported by users.
Prove it once
