What is an accessibility statement?

An accessibility statement is a statement that demonstrates a commitment to making your site accessible to users of all abilities. It describes the measures you've taken to ensure equal access and informs customers about the accessibility features available on your site. This statement helps build trust and confidence among users, especially those with disabilities, by assuring them that you prioritize their needs.
