The quiet magic of accessibility regulations and guidelines

Explore WCAG 2.2 and accessibility regulations— why they matter, how they’re enforced, and how to get organisations to take them seriously.

In this session, we’ll explore:

- what the accessibility regulations are and who they apply to
their intent and purpose
- what they mean in practice, including how they are enforced
- where WCAG does not fully cover some user needs, and how usability findings help address this
- how the Government Service Standard, service lifecycle and design systems support accessible delivery
- how teams and organisations can make effective use of the law
what’s coming next
