Compliance status 

The website has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) [2.1 or 2.2] AA standard. 

This website is partially compliant with the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard or Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard], due to ‘the non-compliances’ listed below. 

Non-accessible content 

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations 

Some images do not have an aria label, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content). 

We plan to add labels by August 2024.  

Some background colours have a poor contrast as per WCAG 1.4.3. We plan to update this by June 2024. 

Some link names do not have discernible text as per WCAG 2.4.4, WCAG 4.1.2. . We plan to update this by June 2024. 

Some heading elements or links are not in consequential order. We plan to update this by June 2024. 

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations 

PDFs and other documents 

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.  

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards. 

Live video 

We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
