Non-Accessible Content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Navigation and accessing information

Issues with PDFs and other documents

Our older PDFs and Word documents don’t meet accessibility standards - for example, they may not be marked up so they’re accessible to a screen reader. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role value).

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. We plan to fix any documents published after this date, or replace them with accessible HTML pages.

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

We are working to resolve the identified content issues listed below:

Live video

We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
