Wagtail VPAT reports

A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT®) is a document that explains how information and communication technology (ICT) products such as software, hardware, electronic content, and support documentation meet (conform to) the Revised 508 Standards for IT accessibility.

Wagtail documents the accessibility of the Wagtail admin interface with VPAT® reports, as this format is widely used in a procurement context.
