What web accessibility is

An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, this means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts using browser or device settings

  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen

  • navigate most of the website using a keyboard or speech recognition software

  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We have also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

Feedback and contact information

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for

enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS) (https://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/).

Technical information about this website's accessibility

Compliance status

This website has been tested and fully compliant in accordance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA guidelines. This site's contents have been adapted to work with assistive technologies, such as screen readers and keyboard use. As part of this effort, we have also:

  • Used the Accessibility Wizard to find and fix potential accessibility issues

  • Set the language of the site 

  • Set the content order of the site’s pages

  • Defined clear heading structures on all of the site’s pages

  • Added alternative text to images

  • Implemented color combinations that meet the required color contrast

  • Reduced the use of motion on the site

  • Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

​​

If you find an accessibility issue on the site, or if you require further assistance, you are welcome to contact us through the organisation's accessibility coordinator: info@gulegal.org.

​​

There’s no way to skip the repeated content in the page header (for example, a ‘skip to main content’ option). It’s not always possible to change the device orientation from horizontal to vertical without making it more difficult to view the content. It’s not possible for users to change text size without some of the content overlapping. We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will make another assessment when the supplier contract is up for renewal.

​

Content that's not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

​

PDFs and other documents

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 Septemenber 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services. Any new PDFs or Word document we publish will meet accessibility standards.

​

Live video

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