This accessibility statement applies to the UKADR domain.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. Our accessibility commitment includes making sure that visitors can:

• easily understand our web pages by making the content as simple as possible
• zoom in up to 500% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
• navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
• listen to most of the website using a screen reader
• clearly discern if a link downloads a file or opens an external website in a new browser tab

The majority of the UKADR website is accessible; however, some parts of our website are not fully accessible. For example:

• PDF documents and older content may not be fully accessible to screen reader software
• some older videos may not feature captions
• videos are embedded from YouTube and may feature labelling from YouTube itself, which could be incorrect or not sufficiently descriptive – you can visit the AbilityNet YouTube channel to access more of our videos

Technical information about this website's accessibility

UKADR is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with The Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.

Content that's not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

Some of our older PDFs and Microsoft Office documents may not meet accessibility standards. For example, they may not be marked up so they are accessible to a screen reader. These include historic reports and case studies.

The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018. We do however aim to update the most used PDFs in the future.

Where possible any new PDFs or Microsoft Office documents we publish will meet accessibility standards. Where this is not possible, we will endeavour to make the information available in an accessible format.

What we're doing to improve accessibility

As we continue to develop the website and its content, we will audit and test the website for accessibility on a regular basis.
