TECHNICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS WEBSITE’S ACCESSIBILITY

SCCRC is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications)(No.2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

The website is partially complaint with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below:

Some images do not have a text alternative.

Some form fields do not have a valid label.

Some elements do not allow text resizing without loss of some functionality.

Some links are not well defined and open new windows or frames without a warning.

Addressing these non-compliances has been slowed up as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it is anticipated that these, along with a number of good practice points, will be addressed by 31 March 2021. 

Further work will also be undertaken in respect of future independent website tests and potential redesign, subject to affordability.

CONTENT THAT’S NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ACCESSIBILITY REGULATIONS

As previously noted, our website is primarily an information and archive site and as such contains a high level of historic PDF documents – many of these are however fully accessible. 

The accessibility regulations do not require us the fix any of these documents published before 23 September 2018. However, we plan on reviewing and updating these documents as part of a wider website review to be concluded by 31 March 2020.
