DfE accessibility standards help teams design and build products consistently while meeting legal requirements.

Teams must use these standards throughout the delivery of products and services.

Find the standards in the Standards manual:

• Accessibility Statements (DDT-34) - sets out requirements for departmental websites and mobile apps to explain their accessibility, known issues and support options
• Accessibility Conformance (DDTS-463) - sets out requirements for services, products and websites to meet WCAG Level AA conformance.
