The EU Web Accessibility Directive – and what it means for school websites

Since the 1990s, the majority of post-primary schools in Ireland have had an online presence. For many schools this is now a school website. Everyone involved in the school community will have some interaction with the school website, whether it is to check the school calendar or to read a school policy (Gilleece & Eivers, 2018; Lalchandani et al, 2022). However, for some, this task is much more difficult than for others (Orero & Quested, 2022).
