European Accessibility Act: Only 9 Days To Secure WCAG Compliance
The clock continues to count down. With just 9 working days remaining, the European Accessibility Act comes into force on 28 June 2025.
Despite the far-reaching consequences, awareness remains dangerously low. Between 200,000 and 400,000 UK businesses may fall under this legislation, yet most have received no official notification or guidance.
Non-compliance carries serious risks: GDPR-style financial penalties, legal action, cancelled contracts, reputational harm, and the high cost of retrofitting accessibility after enforcement begins.
The solution is clear. Full accessibility audits, live testing with disabled users, and expert remediation plans are the only way to meet WCAG compliance and legal obligations.
I have prepared a comprehensive guide for businesses to understand the full impact of the European Accessibility Act. You can read it here:
