The Path to WCAG 2.2 - Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are an internationally recognised set of recommendations for improving web accessibility. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is currently preparing to publish version 2.2 of WCAG and a working draft is available now.

WCAG 2.2 builds on WCAG 2.1 by adding 9 new success criteria and an existing criterion has changed from Level AA to Level A. This extension of WCAG aims to better reflect the experience of people with disabilities by improving accessibility guidance for users with low vision, cognitive and learning disabilities and improving mobile accessibility.
WCAG 2.2 was scheduled for release in November 2020, but is now expected to become the official standard in summer 2021. With these changes soon approaching, this session aims to help you understand WCAG 2.2. and what these changes means for your website.

This session is for designers, developers, product owners and management teams from all sectors that have an awareness of WCAG and why it is important to create inclusive digital services.

This presentation includes the following:
Adopting WCAG 2.2 from 2.1 and how this affects UK Accessibility Regulations
Outline of the WCAG 2.2 Success Criteria
WCAG 2.2 practical examples and best practices
