Problem statement
We'd like to support teams adding Accessibility statement links to their sites. Our existing guidance is a little bit ambiguous (pointing to "parent agency"), and we can clear it up by saying that these links should point to "your website or service's accessibility statement, or to your agency's accessibility statement if your website or service does not have its own." We should link to Section 508's accessibility statement guidance, and point to a good example of an accessibility statement, like the one on DHS.gov.
