Examples

• GOV.UK should be www.gov.uk. Indeed:

This accessibility statement applies to the www.gov.uk website. It does not cover other GOV.UK subdomains such as service subdomains

Alternative names

I don't believe that “Accessibility Policy” is a relevant type name, as these terms do not seem to set forth a policy but rather describe a current state, processes, and rights of end users.
“Accessibility” is not relevant either as it does not add information compared to “Accessibility Statement”.

Object

I suggest the object to be more precise than “service accessibility”: “accessibility of the service to people with a disability”.

Audience

In this case, the audience is probably more than end users: auditors could also be interested, or people with a disability even when they don't use the service themselves. I would thus suggest that, like with “Imprint”, we use “everyone“ as the audience.

This terms type suggestion has been accepted and will soon be added.
