Digital Accessibility
Since 23 September 2020, (semi-) government institutions are internationally obliged to make their website fully digitally accessible. If your organization does not yet have the website in place, you must be in possession of an accessibility statement stating what you are going to do to achieve this. At the moment, no deadline has been set (yet) for the implementation. However, necessary actions must be specified, including the (time) planning. It depends on the measure what a reasonable timeframe is. A statement must be drawn up for this. This statement is valid for one year. The (combined) underlying research results are valid for a maximum of 36 months. Parties must be able to show progress periodically.
To help your organization with this, we offer extensive accessibility training. Or do you want to have a statement drawn up with an improvement plan immediately? Then we can also assist you with this in collaboration with Accessibility Desk.
Thanks to our collaboration, we can offer the following services:
- Quick Scan – A fast and effective analysis to identify the most critical accessibility issues on your website.
- Full Accessibility Audit and Certification – A comprehensive evaluation of your website based on the WCAG-EM standard. You will receive a detailed report with actionable recommendations and an accessibility certification once your website meets the required standards.

With the digital accessibility training from SIM and Accessibility Desk, your organization will be well prepared to comply with the required standards. This includes awareness-raising throughout the organization, arrange the accessibility statement and the safeguarding thereof, implementation and maintenance of accessible content, including PDF files and videos with subtitles.
