Marlow's NHS tender wants WCAG 2.1 AA plus a conformance report, answers due 14 Aug. We've never checked. Sofie?
Hi Tom, an audit of the portal against WCAG 2.1 AA is under way, with the fixes after it. You'll have our accessibility statement by 7 August, a week before your deadline; anything not fixed by then is listed in it with a date.
That works for us.
Hi Tom, the accessibility statement is attached: 45 of the 47 issues the audit found are fixed; the printed PDF and one chart are listed with dates. Good luck with the bid. Closing.
Hi Tom, thanks for the early warning. I don't want to guess: I'll come back to you by 15 July with what we can confirm and when.
