This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Find out more about the technical accessibility standards we follow.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Some of the links in the Your Area pages are not underlined and use colour alone to distinguish them. This doesn’t meet criterion 1.4.1 Use of colour (Level A).
The triage process used in form pages, for example the Contact us and Report a crime pages, include links which do not have a clear purpose from reading the text alone. This doesn’t meet criterion 2.4.4 Link purpose (in context) (Level A).
The purpose of the links in the pagination on the Search page is not clear from reading the link text alone or by reading the link text with programmatically associated link context. This doesn’t meet criterion 2.4.4 Link purpose (in context) (Level A). We aim to fix this issue by 25 May.
On search results pages the left and right arrows on the pagination navigation do not have a visible keyboard focus style. This doesn’t meet success criterion 2.4.7 Focus visible (Level AA).
We aim to fix these issues by the end of May 2023, unless otherwise specified.
PDFs may not be suitable for users of assistive technology. We are in the process of replacing or fixing any PDF and Word documents which are essential to our services, however users can request accessible versions.
With a few exceptions, all new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards. All new documents that aren’t accessible will be clearly identified, and we will provide an accessible version wherever possible.
After users complete some of our forms they are given the option to download a copy of their data in PDF format. We know that these PDFs are not currently fully accessible to screen readers. Building accessible PDFs is part of our future development plans and is being reviewed.
Many of our older PDFs and Word documents are not fully accessible, for example, they may not be easy to read using a screen reader.
We aim to have replaced or fixed any PDF and Word documents which are essential to our services, like forms published as Word 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. For example, we don’t plan to fix every older non-essential document like old campaign PDFs.
There are some small HTML parsing errors across the site caused by third party content that is neither funded nor developed by, nor under the control of Single Online Home. The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix these.
