Where to change it in WordPress

Pages › Add New, then add it to the footer menu under Appearance › Menus.

Always edit from a child theme or the Customizer’s Additional CSS, never directly in the theme files.

As it is

<footer>
  <a href="/legal">Legal notice</a>
  <a href="/privacy">Privacy</a>
</footer>

As it should be

<footer>
  <a href="/legal">Legal notice</a>
  <a href="/privacy">Privacy</a>
  <a href="/accessibility">Accessibility statement</a>
</footer>

Why it matters

The European Accessibility Act requires service providers to publish information about how the service meets accessibility requirements. It is the one thing a market surveillance authority can check without opening a single developer tool: they look at your footer, and if it is not there, they have a documented failure.
