GDS Accessibility Standards

The GDS Accessibility Standards are guidelines designed to make digital services and websites used by the UK government accessible and easy to use for everyone, including people with disabilities. They ensure that digital content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust enough to work with various assistive technologies. These standards promote inclusive design, enabling all users to navigate, understand, and interact with government services effectively, regardless of their abilities or device used, thereby fostering equal access and improved user experience across digital platforms.
