Statement, summary and badge

Your accessibility statement, the optional public summary page, and the "Accessibility monitored by Audsey" badge.

Accessibility statement

An accessibility statement is a page on your own site that tells visitors:

  • your commitment and the standard you aim for (usually WCAG 2.2 AA)
  • when the site was last tested, and how
  • known limitations, especially third-party pieces like reCAPTCHA or a booking widget, and another way to get the same thing done
  • how to report a problem, and how quickly you’ll respond

We write it from your latest report and your contact details, and update it with each report. It never claims your site is “compliant” or “certified”. It says what was tested and what was found.

Public summary

If you opt in, a public page at app.audsey.com/public/your-site shows your published results only:

  • the latest Accessibility index and when it was checked
  • how many WCAG criteria are met
  • when a person last reviewed the site
  • the index over time
  • a link to your accessibility statement

Drafts and detailed findings stay private.

The badge

With the public summary on, you can add a small badge to your site’s footer: “Accessibility monitored by Audsey”, with your current index. It links to your public summary. We’ll send you a snippet of HTML to paste in, or add it for you.

The badge says your site is monitored, which is true as long as you’re a client. It doesn’t say “compliant” or “certified”, and neither should anything else on your site.

Turning them off

Ask us and we’ll switch the public summary off. The badge stops loading at the same time, so remove it from your footer too.
