Governance and Policy Level 4 (12-15 points)

Advanced Accessibility Governance

Your assessment indicates your organisation is at Level 4 in the Governance and Policy dimension of accessibility maturity. Policies are finalised and socialised around the organisation with processes to ensure they are followed. This shows your governance structures are well-developed and effective.

Organisations at this level typically:

• Have mature, comprehensive accessibility policies
• Have senior leadership consistently involved in accessibility oversight
• Maintain highly effective accessibility steering groups with significant influence
• Use metrics to track and improve accessibility performance
• Consistently view accessibility requirements as a floor, not a ceiling
• Have started including accessibility considerations in strategic planning across the organisation

Key Opportunities

To advance to the highest level of governance maturity:

• Put Executive accountability and reporting processes in place
• Establish clear requirements for accessibility in all new developments
• Refine monitoring and review processes and leverage metrics to demonstrate business value and drive decision-making
• Review your policies and governance annually, or talk to us about specific aspects
• Ensure policies drive innovation beyond baseline compliance

Your organisation demonstrates strong accessibility governance. The path forward involves optimising these structures and extending their influence.
