<p>Most people are aware that there are legal requirements around accessibility, though not necessarily what they are. This is sometimes used as the ultimate threat to force compliance.</p>
<p>The relevant laws are:</p>
<h4>The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018</h4>
<p>The Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) is responsible for monitoring public sector website compliance. It has the power to request information and demand access to any public sector organisation’s web content – both intranet and public-facing materials. If a public sector body fails to publish an accessibility statement on their website – or one that is not accurate – the CCDO will publish the organisation’s name. Enforcement falls under the Equality and Human Rights Commission (except in Northern Ireland).</p>
