We wrote down how we test for #WCAG (and #accessibility in general). We've shared it as #OpenSource at github.com/alphagov/wcag-…

Please make this accessible to disabled folks! The image needs alt text. If it's a document you need PDF remediation or at the very least a plain text version available of all the locations etc. #ACCESSIBILITY
