Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

PDFs

Some of our PDFs do not comply with WCAG 2.1 to Level A and AA which may make them difficult for some of our users to access. For example:

  • They currently do not have the correct heading tags so screen reader users will be unable to navigate using heading levels. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.3.1 (Info & Relationships)
  • They do not have document landmarks so screen reader users will find it difficult to understand the structure of the PDFs. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.3.1 (Info & Relationships)
  • Images are missing alternative text so blind people will be unable to discern them. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content)
  • Colour contrast is insufficient in places which can impact users with visual impairments or colour blindness. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast)

Where possible we plan to convert PDFs to HTML, which will be built to comply with accessibility guidelines. For any new PDFs, we will ensure they are created in an accessible way.
