Accessibility Statement

This accessibility statement applies to the Choose My PCC website.

This website is run by the Cabinet Office. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 300% 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 (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

  • the cookies icon does not reflow with the page and so can block important information when the page is zoomed in
  • the user cannot access the ‘analytical cookies’ slider on the cookies notice on the home page with a keyboard
  • after the user tabs from ‘reject all’ on the cookies notice, it is unclear where the user is as nothing receives focus nor is actionable

Feedback and contact information

If you need information on this website in a different format like accessible PDF, large print, easy read, audio recording or braille email choosemypcctechnicalsupport@cabinetoffice.gov.uk.

We’ll consider your request and get back to you in 2 working days.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the ‘non-compliances’ listed below.

Non-accessible content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • The cookies icon does not reflow with the page and so can block important information when the page is zoomed in. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.10 (reflow). This functionality is provided by a third party and an alternative solution is currently being researched. We aim to have this in place by the end of 2021.
  • The user cannot access the ‘analytical cookies’ slider on the cookies notice on the home page with a keyboard. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.1.1 (keyboard). This functionality is provided by a third party and an alternative solution is currently being researched. We aim to have this in place by the end of 2021.
  • After the user tabs from ‘reject all’ on the cookies notice, it is unclear where the user is as nothing receives focus nor is actionable. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.1.1 (keyboard). This functionality is provided by a third party and an alternative solution is currently being researched. We aim to have this in place by the end of 2021.
