Need extra coordination and expertise for a while? Audit House helps municipalities, government bodies and other organisations organise WCAG audits, accessibility statements, suppliers and improvement actions centrally.
You work with an experienced digital accessibility project lead who creates an overview, organises responsibilities and works towards an approach your organisation can continue on its own afterwards.
The work is tailored to the situation and priorities of your organisation.
We create a central overview of the websites, apps and other important digital channels the organisation is responsible for.
For each channel, we record, among other things:
We draw up an audit schedule and determine which websites and apps should be audited first. We consider factors such as the number of users, the public function, known problems and the validity of existing audits.
We then help with:
An audit report alone does not make a website accessible. The problems found must be translated into clear tasks and then resolved.
The accessibility officer:
It is more efficient to include accessibility from the start than to fix problems afterwards.
That is why we also provide support with:
This makes digital accessibility part of the organisation’s normal way of working.
Within the available hours, the accessibility officer can provide training and practical sessions. We tailor the content to the participants’ work.
Think, for example, of training for:
This way, employees not only learn what goes wrong, but above all how they can prevent accessibility problems in the future.
Within the agreed engagement, Audit House can also carry out WCAG audits. Whether there is enough room for this depends on the size of the website or app and the other activities.
If a full audit does not fit within the available hours, we make separate arrangements in advance. This keeps it clear which hours are used for coordination, audits, remediation support and training.
The aim is not to keep Audit House within the organisation indefinitely. On the contrary, we want to make ourselves as redundant as possible after the agreed period.
That is why we ensure:
At the end of the assignment, the organisation should be able to manage and monitor digital accessibility as independently as possible.
The most important questions organisations ask before engaging an external digital accessibility project lead.
A digital accessibility project lead makes sure accessibility does not stop at individual checks. The project lead organises responsibilities, audits, improvement actions, suppliers, reporting and structural embedding within the organisation.
The job titles overlap considerably. A project lead is often engaged to organise a specific change or improvement task. The term accessibility officer usually places more emphasis on central responsibility and structural embedding. Audit House can combine both roles in one temporary engagement.
Especially when several websites, apps, suppliers or internal teams are involved and no one has enough time or expertise to take charge. Temporary project management can also speed things up considerably after a series of WCAG audits with many outstanding improvements.
That varies per organisation. For light coordination, around 8 hours per week may be sufficient. With several digital channels and an active improvement programme, 12 hours is more likely. If inventory, policy, training and implementation all need to be built up at the same time, 16 hours per week may be more realistic.
Yes. Within the engagement, Audit House can also carry out audits when there is enough room for it. If a full audit falls outside the agreed hours, we make separate arrangements in advance. This keeps it clear which capacity goes to project management and which to auditing.
Yes. We can schedule audits and retests, translate results into follow-up actions, support accessibility statements and monitor agreements with suppliers. We can also help include accessibility earlier in procurement and new projects.
No. On the contrary, the aim is for the organisation to become less and less dependent on external support. That is why we document processes, build internal knowledge and ensure a transferable way of working.
With an interim accessibility officer, your organisation temporarily gains the knowledge and capacity to create an overview, organise audits and actually implement improvements. At the same time, we build the internal knowledge and processes needed to embed accessibility for the long term.
Discuss with Audit House which engagement suits your organisation. Schedule a no-obligation introduction with one of our WCAG specialists.
