Equality Act 2010 (UK)
The Equality Act 2010 imposes a duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled people. It codifies no web technical standard; WCAG is used in practice as evidence of the adjustments made.
- Technical baseline

- United Kingdom
- Responsible body
- Equality and Human Rights Commission
Equality Act 2010
What it asks for
- Reasonable adjustments so that disabled people are not put at a substantial disadvantage.
How AccessFold helps
- Accessibility diagnostics and dated evidence that may support your reasonable-adjustments position.
What this does not cover
- Whether an adjustment is reasonable is a legal judgement about a specific organisation; a WCAG result is not an Equality Act outcome.
AccessFold provides diagnostics and evidence relevant to this framework. It does not determine compliance.
