The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018 require UK public sector websites and apps to meet WCAG 2.1 standards, ensuring digital accessibility for all users.
This UK regulation implements the EU Web Accessibility Directive domestically, setting legal requirements for public sector websites and mobile applications to be accessible. It aims to improve digital inclusion by ensuring public services are usable by people with diverse abilities.
Public sector websites and apps must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. They must publish an accessibility statement detailing compliance status and provide a feedback process for users to report accessibility issues. The regulations also require regular monitoring and updating to maintain accessibility.
All UK public sector bodies, including government departments, local authorities, NHS organizations, and public educational institutions, are required to comply. Private sector organizations are not covered unless contracted by the public sector.
