Web Accessibility

Last Updated:

Principle

Digital Agency aims to "realize a people-friendly digital society in which no one is left behind." To this end, it is essential that everyone, including people with disabilities and the elderly, can use information and services provided on the web smoothly.
In order to realize this, Digital Agency will make continuous, agency-wide efforts to ensure, maintain, and improve web accessibility. As the basis for our efforts, we will utilize the Japan Industrial Standards JIS X 8341-3:2016 "Design Guidelines for the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities: Information and Communications Equipment, Software, and Services - Part 3: Web Content" and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (WCAG 2.2), which are international guidelines for the accessibility of web content, as indicators to measure the progress.
