The Web Accessibility Directive ensures that websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies are accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities.

The directive applies to public sector bodies at the national, regional, and local levels, as well as entities that provide services on their behalf.

Relevance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Public sector bodies and entities that provide services on their behalf, should be aware of the Web Accessibility Directive, as non-compliance may lead to legal consequences for non-compliance, including fines, and reputational damage. The specific legal consequences of non-compliance with the Web Accessibility Directive may vary depending on the laws and regulations of individual member states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key obligations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Key obligations in the Web Accessibility Directive include ensuring compliance with accessibility requirements, providing accessibility statements, monitoring and reporting on accessibility, addressing identified issues, and collaborating with stakeholders to promote equal access to digital services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
