We’re always looking to improve the accessibility of this website. If you find any problems that aren’t listed on this page or if you think we’re not meeting accessibility requirements, contact us.
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).
This website complies partially with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.
Our forms are built and hosted through third-party software. We have limited control over the code of these forms and their level of accessibility conformance may vary, particularly in relation to WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1 (information and relationships).
We’ve assessed the cost of building these forms in house and believe that doing so would be a disproportionate burden according to the accessibility regulations. However, we have made the supplier aware of their accessibility issues and they have committed to fixing them where possible.
We have used the following websites;
https://wave.webaim.org/
https://siteimprove.com/
We work continuously to fix all remaining accessibility issues, with a focus on the highest severity.
This statement was prepared March 2022.
