Accessibility Guidelines
The existing guidelines and standards for accessibility.
Many countries have different laws and approaches concerning accessibility, but the de-facto international standards acting as guidelines are the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). In 2019 USA and Europe came together in agreement that the level of accessibility required by government agencies should be WCAG (AA). This was a welcomed harmonization and a big step for global accessibility.
These guidelines are there to help us to comply with disability discrimination laws and to make our services accessible to all.
The WCAG act as a shared technical standard for web content accessibility. They are a collection of the most important user-needs, combined with suggested technical solutions that have been found to meet the accessibility needs of individuals, organizations, and governments internationally.
