"Our intranet has a high degree of engagement and readership - we're really seeing our community come alive."

Digital accessibility ensures everyone can access and use digital products, like websites or apps. It means creating space for different levels of ability. This may include making text easier to read in a way that works with screen readers, or crafting straightforward content so users with cognitive disabilities can find what they need without confusion. Although accessibility impacts those with a disability, it also benefits all other users. Keeping your digital presence open creates a welcoming environment no matter how someone interacts with technology.
Accessibility is an important factor in creating a better world. Besides having tangible benefits for individuals with disabilities, it also has a wider societal impact. It can result in greater independence and improved quality of life for all. Additionally, increased accessibility for employees leads to enhanced well-being across the organization.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are an international standard that helps make web content more accessible to people of all ability levels. There is no legal requirement to comply with the WCAG, but that doesn’t mean you should neglect it. Compliance with WCAG also helps to ensure compliance with other legal obligations such as the Equality Act 2010. Approximately 1 in 5 people in the UK have a long-term disability. If you ignore accessibility, you’re not catering to a large percentage of your users, customers, and employees. Since having accessible digital content improves the digital experience for everyone, not just those with disabilities, companies should do their best to promote intranet accessibility.
