Compliance status
This online form is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non compliance with the accessibility regulations
- Pages have no skip links. This issue may affect screen reader and keyboard users who use skip links to bypass repeated content such as headers and navigation menus to skip directly to the main page content.
- The language attribute of the page has not been set in the HTML. This may cause confusion to screen reader users who may not be able to identify the primary language of the page in their journey.
- Some pages may contain empty headings, including on the check answers page. As a result, screen reader users may have difficulty navigating these pages.
- Some content may be cut off or appear truncated when zooming in. This issue may affect low-vision users navigating the form who use reflow settings to view web pages.
We plan to fix these issues by July 2021.
