Answer a few questions and get an accessibility statement you can copy into your website as text or HTML. The generator runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is sent to or stored by AccessibilityScore.in.

## Short answer
An accessibility statement tells visitors how accessible a website is, which standard it aims to meet, its known problems, and how to report barriers. W3C recommends at least a commitment to accessibility, the standard applied and contact details. UK and EU public sector websites must publish one by law.

## Key facts

- **W3C minimum content:** A commitment to accessibility, the standard applied, and contact information
- **Also advisable:** Known limitations, measures taken, technical requirements, tested environments and applicable laws
- **Legally required for:** UK public sector bodies and public sector bodies in EU countries under the Web Accessibility Directive
- **Where to publish:** A dedicated page linked from every page, usually in the site footer
- **How often to update:** Whenever you fix or find issues, and at least once a year
- **Privacy:** This generator runs in your browser; nothing you type is stored

## What should an accessibility statement include?

The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative says a statement should contain at least a commitment to accessibility for people with disabilities, the accessibility standard applied, and contact information for when people run into problems. It also advises including:

- Known limitations, so people are not surprised by barriers
- Measures your organisation takes to ensure accessibility
- Technical requirements, such as supported browsers
- The environments the content has been tested in
- References to the laws and policies that apply to you

## Who has to publish an accessibility statement?

Public sector bodies in the UK must publish one under the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018, and public sector bodies in EU countries must publish one under the Web Accessibility Directive. Under the European Accessibility Act, businesses providing covered services must also make information available on how their services meet the accessibility requirements.

For everyone else a statement is voluntary, but it shows users and buyers that you take accessibility seriously, and it gives people with disabilities a way to reach you before they give up.

## What does a UK public sector statement need?

The GOV.UK sample statement sets out the expected sections: how accessible the website is, feedback and contact information, the enforcement procedure, technical information and compliance status, non-accessible content (including any disproportionate burden and content outside the regulations), what you are doing to improve, and how the statement was prepared. Tick the UK public sector option in the generator to add the enforcement procedure, then compare the result with the GOV.UK sample before publishing.

## How do you write an honest accessibility statement?

A statement is only useful if it is accurate. Base it on real testing, not on what you hope is true:

- Scan your key pages first; AccessibilityScore.in shows which WCAG failures are present.
- Test the main tasks with a keyboard and a screen reader, and list what does not work.
- Choose partially conforms if any known issue remains; most sites honestly fall here.
- Give a contact that a person actually monitors, and a time frame for replies.
- Date the statement and update it when you fix or find issues.

## Minimal vs complete accessibility statement

| Part | Minimal statement | Complete statement |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Commitment | Yes | Yes |
| Standard and conformance status | Yes | Yes |
| Contact for problems | Yes | Yes, with response times |
| Known limitations and workarounds | Recommended | Yes, with fix dates |
| How the site was tested, and when | Recommended | Yes |
| Technical requirements and tested environments | Optional | Yes |
| Legal and enforcement information | When required by law | Yes |

## Common questions

### Is this accessibility statement generator free?
Yes. It is free, needs no account, and runs in your browser without storing anything you enter.

### Is an accessibility statement legally required?
For UK public sector bodies and EU public sector bodies, yes. For most private businesses it is voluntary, though the European Accessibility Act requires covered service providers to publish accessibility information.

### Where should I put my accessibility statement?
On its own page, linked from every page of the site, usually in the footer next to the privacy policy.

### Can I say my site is fully compliant?
Only if a full evaluation against the standard found no failures. If any known issue remains, say partially conforms and list the issues; an inaccurate statement can mislead users and regulators.

### How often should I update my accessibility statement?
Whenever you fix or discover issues, and at least once a year. UK public sector bodies must review theirs regularly.

### Does a statement make my website accessible?
No. A statement describes accessibility; it does not create it. Use it alongside testing and fixing, and keep it honest.
