Our new website launched in March 2023 where we undertook a full content restructure. Doing this has highlighted some areas of further improvement where information and processes can be made fully accessible.
We will be doing a full audit of PDFs that remain on the website and aim to replace or fix these, where we are able to do so, by January 2024. We also have governance in place so that no further documents are added to our website that don't meet accessibility standards.
Wherever possible, we plan to provide an accessible HTML version of any new information as the primary source rather than using a PDF. As a minimum we will ensure PDFs published on our website can be fully accessed using the accessibility tools on our website.
We will continue to work with all newly commissioned third party software providers to ensure their solutions and the online services they provide comply with the latest accessibility regulations.
Periodically we will assess the accessibility of our website using an independent online assessment, Siteimprove, and carryout remedial actions.
We are working to ensure that all videos have the correct captions and have governance in place to ensure no further videos are added without correct captions.
We are working to remove unnecessary images, and where they are necessary, that they have appropriate alt tags and descriptions.
