Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Most pages contain layout tables to position content and this may present reading and navigation issues. This fails Success Criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships) and Success Criterion 1.3.2 (Meaningful Sequence). This is a limitation of the publishing tool. We will continue to communicate with our supplier with the aim of fixing this problem by September 2022.
Most pages do not have page regions or ARIA landmarks. This fails Success Criterion 1.3.6 (Identify Purpose). This is a limitation of the publishing tool. We will continue to communicate with our supplier with the aim of fixing this problem by September 2022.
Pages containing forms can be difficult to navigate with only a keyboard due to it not being clear when the submit button is selected. This fails Success Criterion 2.4.7 (Focus Visible). This is a limitation of the publishing tool. We will continue to communicate with our supplier with the aim of fixing this problem by September 2022.
Some forms have labels that are not correctly associated with a form control. This fails Success Criterion 3.3.2 (Labels or Instructions). This is a limitation of the publishing tool. We will continue to communicate with our supplier with the aim of fixing this problem by September 2022.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. Most of the library news pdf documents are not fully accessible. Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Text alternatives to videos are not provided for most videos. Pre-recorded audio and video published before 23 September 2020 are exempt from the accessibility regulations. We plan to make transcripts for videos created by the Medical Education Department available by September 2022.
