Many of our older PDFs and Word documents don’t meet accessibility standards - for example, they may not be structured so they’re accessible to a screen reader.
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 2020, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
The accessibility regulations don’t 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, unless otherwise stated.
This website is crawled and tested by our automated monitoring system every 7 days.
The Web Management Team perform internal testing frequently and act upon user feedback when we receive it.
We are continually working to make improvements to this website and plan to start doing real user testing in the future.
This statement was prepared on 23/09/2020 by the Web Management Team.
