DWP Digital’s services are used by almost everyone in the UK at some point in their lives. So it’s important that everyone can access these services no matter what their circumstances.
In this episode of the podcast, Calei Smith and Craig Abbott who lead on accessibility for DWP, discuss the importance of accessibility and the challenges faced when it comes to making sure services are accessible to everyone. They also provide advice on how to ensure your services are compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and tell us more about DWP’s free open source accessibility manual.
