Answer

I am advised an audit of the Ministry for Women website identified the need to improve its website to be compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). In response, the Ministry is actively working with its content management system developer to remediate and resolve the areas identified for improvement. The Ministry for Women is committed to improving accessibility across its channels, ensuring that content is user focused and meets NZ Government Web Standards and the International Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
