What to do next

You need to check or verify that the accessibility issues the tool finds are issues, rather than false positives or false assurances.

If an issue is genuine, speak to your developer or design team to consider, then implement, a fix.

You can read guidance for how to manage and prioritise issues in the knowledge hub.
