Web Accessibility Accreditation Services
Shaw Trust Web Accreditation Service tests your website to the highest possible accessibility standards. We’re fully endorsed by GAWDS (The Guild of Accessible Web Designers) and we can audit and accredit websites in line with W3C guidelines against WCAG 1.0 and WCAG 2.0. So you can be confident of meeting the highest standards of web accessibility.Shaw Trust: The market leader in Web Accessibility Accreditation
We’re the only web accessibility organisation to employ our own testing team; every member is an experienced assistive technology user. They understand the frustrations of not being able to access websites that don’t consider the needs of people with a disability. They’re passionate, enthusiastic and committed with the experience to make things work for you. And because they only work for Shaw Trust this means that we can maintain a high standard of quality and consistency.We are also one of the Government’s lead partners in the delivery of employment programmes for disabled and disadvantaged people. So by employing a team of disabled people, we’re adhering to our mission statement and ensuring you’ve got the most suitable team of testers possible auditing your site.

Shaw Trust is introducing SortSite - an automated accessibility testing tool from PowerMapper Software as part of their web accessibility services. PowerMapper Software is providing licenses and consultancy as part of their commitment to giving back to the community.
"At Surrey Heath Borough Council we take equality and accessibility very seriously. The Web Team have always strived hard to meet Accessibility Standards but needed some extra help to understand our failures and what to do to sustain a high accessibility level, so we consulted the Shaw Trust.
They ran a rigorous assessment of our site and we also got to visit their offices to watch and run through some of the testing. This was invaluable for us as it helped us understand the difficulties and obstacles disabled users face whilst navigating around websites.
We found the Shaw Trust to be very professional throughout the whole consultation period and they offered some essential accessibility advice. Their team of testers are experts in their fields and we have enjoyed working alongside the company to achieve good results."
