Accessibility monitoring of public sector websites and mobile apps 2020-2021
The Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) issued an accessibility monitoring report detailing the work they have undertaken in 2021 testing public sector websites.
Testing forms for usability and accessibility
Both Waverley Borough Council and Tandridge District Council required some user testing on their waste forms. Whilst the more common usability testing was carried out, checking for functionality and looking at the technical aspects, SDS also user tested for digital accessibility. It’s critical to ensure that all forms operate for all users including those with disabilities.
Giving digital accessibility a boost
Many of our partner organisations have been working hard to create a culture of accessibility throughout their organisations.
Sevenoaks, Central Bedfordshire and Tonbridge and Malling have all asked us to help with this by delivering several virtual, live and interactive group sessions to introduce digital accessibility.
Accessible online documents e-learning course
SDS have developed an e-learning course on how to create accessible Word and PDF documents for online publication.
