Technical information about this website’s accessibility
The Scottish Government is committed to making this website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
PDF and other documents

We plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility
The AI Scotland website will be regularly updated to improve functionality and accessibility where and when required.
