+# Accessibility Team
+
+This charter supersedes [DEP 11: Accessibility Team](https://github.com/django/deps/blob/main/final/0011-accessibility-team.rst).
+The Accessibility Team encourages projects maintained by the Django Software
+Foundation to be accessible to as many people as possible.
+We focus on those with disabilities who find it more challenging to use the web.
+
+
+## Scope of responsibilities
+
+The scope of the Accessibility Team includes all projects maintained by
+the Django Software Foundation.
+
+This includes but is not limited to:
+
+- User-facing parts of Django, such as:
+  -  default HTML output in forms
+  -  the Django admin and its default theme, HTML, and UI components.
+- All websites and other software projects maintained by the DSF, such as:
+  -  the Django website
+  -  the documentation
+  -  Django Snippets
+  -  the issue tracker
+
+The scope also includes Django events and other community projects where accessibility
+is a relevant concern.
+
+The responsibilities of the Accessibility Team are expected to change over time,
+and are to be decided by consensus of the team, with input from the Steering Council
+as required. These include:
+
+- Deciding on any accessibility guidelines to follow, such as WCAG.
+- Implementing automated testing to find issues.
+- Coordinating accessibility audits.
+- Coordinating the fixing of accessibility issues and accessibility improvements.
+- Writing and maintaining documentation relating to accessibility. For example:
+  - a statement of commitment to accessibility issues
+  - contribution guidelines
+- Reviewing code that affects the accessibility of any in-scope projects.
+
+Many of these duties can be undertaken by any contributor. The Accessibility Team
+coordinates this work.
+It can step in where contributors are not available and support those who lack the
+knowledge to do so themselves.
+Accessibility Team members are added to a team in the GitHub organization with
+read access to relevant repositories. With this they can be requested to review pull
+requests.
+
