Accessibility Statement
Make accessibility visible: use this legal statement to
explain your efforts and give customers a simple way
to get support.
Purpose
An accessibility statement lets customers know you’re taking proactive steps to make your website inclusive and compliant. It also gives visitors a clear way to share feedback, a best practice recommended by accessibility lawyers.
You can include this on a dedicated accessibility page or alongside your other legal policies.
We’ve provided template content below for you to adapt. This is for informational purposes only. You should always seek legal advice when preparing your accessibility statement.
You do not have to mention EnableAll.
Draft Accessibility Statement
[Company] is committed to accessibility and inclusion. We strive to ensure that our products and services are accessible to people of all levels of abilities and make efforts to maintain and increase the accessibility of our digital properties.
In furtherance of this commitment, [Company] has implemented EnableAll, a web accessibility app that helps to better align our site with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). EnableAll improves accessibility by fixing code-level issues to support assistive technologies and by providing visitors with an accessibility toolbar so they can adjust the site to their individual needs. You can learn more about the company and how to use their app at EnableAll.com/for-me/
In addition, we have taken other steps to make our website easier to use and more accessible for people with disabilities, including ongoing monitoring, testing, and auditing of our site to identify and resolve access barriers. These efforts support alignment with the W3C WCAG 2.1 AA success criteria.

If you are experiencing any difficulties with content on our site or require assistance with accessing any part of our site or services, please contact us at [email / phone number / using below accessible feedback form]. We will be happy to assist.
[Company] always welcomes any feedback on how it can improve the accessibility of its website, products, or services.
Next steps
Accessibility is ongoing, so keep this statement updated and make sure customers can easily share feedback and that you monitor and timely respond to that feedback.
Offering a simple way to report issues and timely addressing those issues shows good-faith effort, helps resolve barriers quickly, and strengthens your compliance position.
