Accessibility statement overview

This accessibility statement covers all iCasework web forms.

We've made every effort to make web forms accessible and easy to use for everyone by supporting the latest versions of browsers, operating systems and mobile devices.

We're constantly working towards improving the accessibility of our web forms to ensure we provide equal access to all of our users, by including accessibility as part of our digital strategy.

Accessibility features of our web forms include:

  • a logical content structure and a clear information hierarchy
  • labels to correctly identify all form controls
  • alternative text descriptions for non-text elements such as images
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • support use of speech recognition software wherever possible
  • support use of screen reader technology wherever possible (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA)
  • use the site in plain text format (without styling)
  • Maintaining colour/contrast ratios for text
  • keyboard accessible navigation
  • skip to content links at the top of the page

Compliance status

The web forms are fully complaint with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility 

Navigating date picker with keyboard

Date pickers are known to fail several basic criteria in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Although the date widget is not accessible by keyboard. Design System Service recommends to use a date input field instead of calendar when asking users for dates they already know, for example date of birth.

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

Maps

Some forms may have an online map. Online maps and mapping services are exempt from the regulations if essential information is provided in an accessible digital manner for maps intended for navigational use.

How we tested this website

As part of our development process, we use WAVE testing tools, screen readers as well as a developer checklist to check compliance. In addition, accessibility to AA standards is regularly tested independently by our government customers and any issues raised are handled with the same priority as software bugs.

The web forms were last tested on 5 November 2023

What we're doing to improve accessibility

We have monitoring in place to review the accessibility of the site on an ongoing basis. We use this monitoring to identify and fix any new issues that arise.
