Technical Information about this Website’s Accessibility We are committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and
Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018

Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1
AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions’

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 a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content) We plan to add text alternatives for all images by September 2020 When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.

Disproportionate burden
Navigation and accessing information We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information, and with interactive tools and transactions. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment during the next 12 months

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services and forms published as Word documents. By September 2022, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents publishedbefore 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

What we are doing to improve accessibility
Our accessibility roadmap shows how and when we plan to improve accessibility on this website:In the first instance we will deploy software on our website to provide accessibility to the limit of available resources.  We request that any visitor to our website who finds difficulty with any aspect of the site contact us so that we can assess what further aids are necessary.
