For the public sector

Bring your public services to conformance, and keep them there

Public bodies across Europe must offer accessible digital services. CheckFox helps administrations reach EN 301 549 conformance and demonstrate it.

An obligation that is monitored

Public sector websites and applications must be accessible and must publish an accessibility statement. The requirements are set by EN 301 549, which builds on the WCAG success criteria, and are reinforced by the European Accessibility Act.

Each member state designates a body to monitor compliance and can apply corrective measures or penalties. Reaching conformance early avoids both the legal exposure and the cost of late remediation.

Why public bodies choose CheckFox

Built on the right standards

Audit against RAWeb, RGAA or WCAG, the frameworks national rules rely on through EN 301 549.

Accessibility statements

Generate and keep your declaration up to date from the same audits, ready to publish from your homepage.

Evidence and traceability

Every result is documented with visual evidence and versioned, so you can show progress to your supervising body.

From diagnosis to declaration

  1. Assess your services

    Audit your sites and applications against the applicable national framework.

  2. Plan remediation

    Prioritise issues with clear, documented recommendations for your teams or providers.

  3. Publish and maintain

    Produce your accessibility statement and re-audit each release to stay conformant.

At risk

Key obligations are not yet met. This is where enforcement and exclusion bite hardest.

To close the gap

  • We publish an accessibility statement
  • Our services were audited in the last 12 months
  • All key services are covered (web, mobile and documents)
  • We re-check accessibility on each release
  • We have a documented remediation plan
  • Someone is responsible for accessibility

This is a self-assessment to help you get started, not a legal or conformance verdict.

Frequently asked questions

Which sites are concerned?
Public sector websites, applications and the digital services around them must be accessible under EN 301 549, with an accessibility statement published.
What happens if we are not compliant?
Each member state sets its own monitoring and enforcement, which can include corrective measures and financial penalties. Inaccessible services also exclude real citizens.
Can we manage several sites?
Yes. Workspaces let you organise audits per site or per service and track them all from one place.
