Accessibility Statement

A public declaration on a website or application that describes its accessibility features, known limitations, conformance level with accessibility standards (such as WCAG), contact information for reporting barriers, and the organisation's commitment to accessibility. Accessibility statements may be voluntary self-declarations or required by legislation such as the EU Web Accessibility Directive. They serve multiple purposes: informing users with disabilities about what to expect, demonstrating organisational commitment, providing a feedback mechanism for reporting barriers, and documenting conformance claims. Research has shown that the presence of an accessibility statement does not necessarily correlate with actual accessibility of the site.
