Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

The content that is not accessible is outlined below with details of planned dates for when issues will be fixed.

  • Some of the resources are in PDF format and are not fully accessible as they contain complex flowcharts. We plan to fix these by September 2022, if not sooner. 
  • Some of our pages scroll in two dimensions on small screens. The problem is most common with tables on mobile devices. We recommend using a different device to view the tables in full. WCAG 2.1 AA 1.4.10 Reflow. 
  • Some of our pages have links that are not unique and do not have a clear description. It could be confusing for some users as the links would not be clear out of context. WCAG 2.1 2.4.4 Link Purpose (in context).

Disproportionate burden
