Government Accessibility Compliance in Reading
Meeting the public sector accessibility regulations for Reading bodies. The obligation has two parts and organisations usually attend to one: the site or app must meet the standard, and you must publish an accessibility statement that accurately describes where it does not. An inaccurate statement is itself the breach that gets reported.
Why this comes up
The problem
There is a statement on the site claiming full compliance, and it was written by someone who never ran a test.
What you get
What we deliver
- Audit against the applicable standard using assistive technology, not only tooling
- An accessibility statement that states what actually fails, in the required form
- Non-compliances listed individually with dates for fixing them
- Disproportionate burden assessed and documented if you intend to rely on it
- Remediation prioritised by who is blocked rather than by ease of fixing
- Documents and third-party components covered, since they are in scope too

Government Accessibility Compliance in Reading — common questions
- Why is the statement so important?
- Because it is a published claim about your service that anyone can check. A statement claiming full compliance on a site with obvious failures is straightforwardly false, and it is a far easier thing for someone to report than the underlying technical issue.
- Can we rely on disproportionate burden?
- For specific items, if you have assessed and documented it — weighing the cost against the benefit to disabled users and the resources of the organisation. It is a reasoned assessment you must be able to show, not a general exemption from the difficult parts.
- Are automated tools enough?
- No. They find a minority of issues and cannot judge whether a page makes sense to someone using a screen reader, whether focus order is coherent or whether an error message is comprehensible. Manual testing with assistive technology finds what matters.
- Do PDFs count?
- Published documents are generally in scope, with limited exceptions, and they are frequently the worst part of a public sector site. A scanned PDF is unreadable to a screen reader, and organisations that fix the website while ignoring documents have missed most of the problem.
- Do you work with businesses across Berkshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Reading businesses do you usually work with?
- Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains. Beyond that we work across Technology, Telecommunications, Financial Services and Professional Services.
- Do you cover the areas around Reading?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Oxford, London, Milton Keynes, Southampton. Reading is an urban area of roughly 340,000+, and we take on work across the wider Berkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
