How This Helps You
Using this self-assessment means you can detect accessibility deficiencies before they trigger formal complaints or litigation. Each of the 1523 questions targets a specific control or policy gap that, if left unaddressed, could lead to failed accessibility audits, exclusion of users with disabilities, or contract disqualification in regulated markets. By completing the assessment, you gain a definitive view of your current posture, enabling you to allocate resources efficiently, justify budget requests, and demonstrate due diligence to internal stakeholders and regulators. Organisations that skip structured evaluation risk reactive, fragmented responses that fail to meet evolving legal expectations and stakeholder demands. With this toolkit, you move from ad hoc efforts to a strategic, evidence-based accessibility programme that reduces risk and builds trust.
