Dear
ATISN 16275
Thank you for your request which I received on 20 April 2022. You asked for the following information:
the source material used to provide advice about 'Creating accessible documents' that is published on the Welsh Government website under the GOV.WALES standards and guidance sub topic (in addition to confirming the author of the published advice and whether any source material was used by the author or authors).
I can confirm that Welsh Government does not hold any recorded information of this description. In preparing content for the Creating accessible documents collection on GOV.WALES, a number of officials worked collaboratively to explore good practice from a variety of publicly available sources, including:
- WebAIM’s creating accessible documents guidance: Word and Excel and Powerpoint
The published guidance was developed based on this broad range of information.
If you are dissatisfied with the Welsh Government’s handling of your request, you can ask for an internal review within 40 working days of the date of this response. Requests for an internal review should be addressed to the Welsh Government’s Freedom of Information Officer at:
Information Rights Unit
Welsh Government
Cathays Park
Cardiff
CF10 3NQ
or e-mail: Freedom.ofinformation@gov.wales
Please remember to quote the ATISN reference number above.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
Information Commissioner’s Office
Wycliffe House
Water Lane
Wilmslow
Cheshire
SK9 5AF
Telephone: 0303 123 1113
Website: www.ico.org.uk
However, please note that the Commissioner will not normally investigate a complaint until it has been through our own internal review process.
Yours sincerely
