Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below. 

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

The purpose of the links in the pagination on the Search page is not clear from reading the link text alone or by reading the link text with programmatically associated link context. This doesn’t meet criterion 2.4.4 Link purpose (in context) (Level A).

We aim to fix this issue by the end of December 2024.

PDFs and other documents

With a few exceptions, all new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards. All new documents that aren’t accessible will be clearly identified, and we will provide an accessible version wherever possible.

How we test website accessibility

Single Online Home (SOH) websites are tested using:

• automated testing – the quickest way to catch 20% to 50% of potential issues
• manual testing – using assistive technology tools to test the website with a social focus on areas with known problems
• user testing – asking users with accessibility needs to test the website, and learning from their feedback

We continually monitor and test the accessibility of our site and have made fixing and improving the accessibility of the site part of our daily work.
