Accessibility Webinar – How Organisations Achieve a 99% Accessibility Score

Many NHS trusts and housing providers are working to improve their accessibility scores, yet achieving and sustaining a 99% rating requires more than technical fixes. This session explores what high-performing organisations do differently, how they embed accessibility into everyday processes, and how to move from reactive compliance to continuous improvement.

 

This recorded webinar is delivered by the VerseOne team and is led by Tom, Head of Service Delivery, with context from Johnny, Head of Housing. Drawing on experience across NHS trusts and social housing providers, the session combines practical WCAG guidance with real-world examples of how organisations have transformed their accessibility performance, including cultural and governance shifts that drive lasting results.

In this webinar, you will hear about:

• What WCAG 2.2 requires and how A, AA and AAA standards differ.
• Why accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a one-off project.
• Practical steps organisations take to reach and maintain a 99% accessibility score.
• Common accessibility failures across websites and intranets.
• Managing PDFs and legacy documents, and when to prioritise HTML alternatives.
• Using browser-based accessibility tools to identify issues and improvement areas.
• The importance of manual testing, including zoom, keyboard navigation and colour contrast checks.
• Writing effective alt text and structuring content for screen readers
• Creating meaningful accessibility statements that demonstrate continuous improvement.
• Embedding accessibility across departments to drive organisation-wide change.
