Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliance listed below.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Some form fields where multiple items can be selected are difficult for people using screen readers or keyboard-only. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role, value).
A potential improvement for these items is being investigated by our supplier. If it meets the requirements it will be added to the product roadmap and introduced as soon as possible.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Some job adverts provide additional information in an attachment format. All documents should be in accessible formats, and if this is not the case, you should be able to request an alternative from the relevant recruitment team.
Logical heading structure
Some parts of the application form have an inconsistent heading structure, which makes it harder for screen reader users to navigate through the page. Work is underway to improve the hierarchical headings on these pages.
Links which are not descriptive
Some links may be ambiguous for screen reader users when browsed out of context. Where possible, additional information will be added to these links.
