Manage accessibility issues and publish statements for your services

The Accessibility Issues Statement Service helps DfE teams track accessibility issues, link them to WCAG criteria, and publish up-to-date accessibility statements that meet government requirements.

What is this service?

If you run a digital service for the Department for Education, you need to publish an accessibility statement and keep it up to date. This service lets you:

• Register your services and manage their accessibility statement settings
• Record and track accessibility issues, linked to WCAG 2.2 success criteria
• Publish a single, compliant statement URL that updates automatically when you change issues or contact details
• View reports and heatmaps to see where issues sit across criteria and services

What you can do

Track issues

Create and manage accessibility issues for each service. Set status, due dates, WCAG criteria, and track resolution. Filter by service, date range, and open or closed.

Publish statements

Each service gets a public statement URL. Add contact methods and test methodology; the statement stays in sync with your issues and meets GOV.UK accessibility statement guidance.

Reports and heatmaps

See overview reports and a WCAG heatmap showing where issues sit across success criteria. Use them to prioritise fixes and report to stakeholders.

Team and audits

Add contacts to services, record audit history (auditor, type, date, cost), and manage statement review dates so you stay compliant with periodic reviews.
