Enforcement procedure
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
The full guidelines are available at:
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
- Non compliance with the accessibility regulations
The following items may not comply with the WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria:
- Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content).
- We will review images on the website by the end of 2024.
- Some of our PDFs and Word documents may not be structured, so they’re accessible to a screen reader.
- We will try to make sure any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards, and where we find any that are not accessible, we will rectify this as soon as possible. We will carry out an audit to assess the accessibility of our PDFs and plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages by December 2024
- There are some occurrences of badly formatted links either with text that is not descriptive enough, e.g. click here or have the full web address e.g. https://www. rather than formatted link text. This fails WCAG success criterion 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context).
- We are currently working to eliminate these link issues.
- On some pages the font size is fixed. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.4.8 Visual Presentation
- We will review this issue by the end of 2024
Disproportionate burden
We are not currently claiming that any accessibility problems would be a disproportionate burden to fix.
Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 23 July 2024. It was last reviewed on 23 July 2024.
