Issues with PDFs and other documents

Some of our older PDFs and documents do not meet accessibility standards

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they are not essential to providing our services. We do not currently have any plans to make these PDFs or other documents accessible.

Any new PDFs or documents we publish since 23 September 2018 should meet accessibility standards.

Some of our older PDFs and documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have:

• PDFs with information on how users can access our services
• forms published as Word documents.

The website has undergone accessibility testing in March 2023. These tests were carried out by S8080.

• We ran a full accessibility website check using SortSite in March 2023.

During the SortSite check in March we ran automated scans for all WCAG 2.1 AA errors.

We tested our main website platform, available on:

We are currently addressing and fixing any content issues, this is an ongoing process as new content is added daily.
