What an accessibility statement is and how CheckFox supports producing one.

What an accessibility statement is

A public declaration by a digital service of its conformance level with applicable accessibility law. In the EU, public-sector services and many private services are required to publish one.

The statement typically includes:

Name of the service
Conformance status (full, partial, non-compliant)
Scope of the audit
Known issues and exceptions
Date of audit and next review
Contact information for accessibility feedback
Enforcement procedure

See methodology / statement quality for what makes a good statement.

Statement template editor

CheckFox provides a template editor that lets workspaces define the structure of their statements. Each plan tier offers different template flexibility:

Free / Starter: built-in template only.
Pro / Enterprise: custom templates with variables drawn from audit data.

See /docs/statement-template-editor.md for the full design.

Linking statement to audit

The statement is generated from the audit's findings. Failures and "Not auditable" verdicts populate the issues section automatically. The auditor edits, adds context, and publishes.

AI generation (planned)

A future AI feature will generate a draft summary of issues for the statement based on audit findings and user-written problem and solution fields. See /docs/ai-feature.md case 4.
