Meeting strict public sector accessibility and sustainability mandates.
Web Services for the Public Sector
WCAG 2.2 AA compliance is a legal requirement for public sector organisations. We build to that standard on every project, with the documentation to prove it.
For public sector organisations, accessibility isn't optional. It's the law.
The Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 require all public sector websites and mobile applications to meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards. Central government, local councils, NHS trusts, schools, colleges, universities and publicly-funded charities are all in scope.
The Government Digital Service enforces it and can issue improvement notices and take legal action. Many public sector websites fall short, usually because accessibility wasn't built in from the start, or the site has drifted since launch. Sound familiar?
Don't worry, we fix both.
Reliable, high-performance web platforms for civic engagement.
