Do4U for public sector bodies
In Germany the BITV 2.0 and in Poland the act on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public entities (ustawa o dostępności cyfrowej) require public bodies to make their websites and mobile apps accessible. Both refer to Directive (EU) 2016/2102. Do4U helps you find barriers, prepare the accessibility statement and write texts that more people understand. Do4U does not replace a full accessibility review and is not legal advice.
Typical duties and tasks
- Make websites and apps perceivable, operable, understandable and robust
- Publish an accessibility statement and keep it up to date
- Offer a way to report barriers
- Check PDF documents and forms too, not only web pages
- In Germany: explain the main content on the start page in Easy Language and German Sign Language
- Write texts in plain language
Do4U helps you check and write. It is not legal advice: which rules apply to you, you clarify yourself or with an expert.

Questions and answers
Does Do4U confirm that our website is accessible?
No. Do4U finds common barriers and explains how to fix them. Some points need a check by people, for example with a screen reader. Do4U does not issue a certificate and is not legal advice.
Does Do4U help with the accessibility statement?
Yes, with the findings: the checks show which barriers your statement should name. Under the BITV 2.0 the statement has to be updated every year and after every significant change; the Polish act asks for the date of publication and of the last update. You add contact details and dates yourself.
Which texts can Do4U make easier to read?
Do4U can rewrite a text in simpler words or for a language level from A1 to C1. Read the result before you publish it; it does not replace a check by people from your audience.
