Technical information about this website's accessibility
The Digital Access Team is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Invalid HTML mark-up
Some pages on our website have multiple instances of the same ID. The ID attributes is used to identify a component on the page and although you can have as many IDs on a page as you like each ID should be unique. IDs can be used to link to a certain point in the page and multiple use of this could cause confusion. One of the IDs being specified multiple times is "DataProvider".
This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria 4.1.1 Parsing (A).
Link text
Throughout our website are links which read "Find out more". Some screen reader users navigate the page by jumping between links so need additional information about the purpose of the links within the link text. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria 2.4.4 Link purpose (in context) (A).
Disproportionate burden
Not applicable.
Content that's not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Google captcha
We use Google Captcha on our feedback form to prevent us from receiving spam.
We are aware of a few technical issues with Google Captcha such as a text area having no description, a local link destination not existing, an iframe being used to format content and the iframe having no title. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1 Info and relationships, 3.3.2 Labels or instructions and 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).
We have tested Google Captcha on various devices and browsers, using keyboard only and on screen readers where we found it to still function well. Google Captcha has become commonplace across many websites and most of our users are familiar with it. Due to this, we have no plans to replace it.
Google Captcha is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations because it is neither funded, developed by, or under the control of Leeds City Council.
