2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Below we list any known issues that we either need to fix, cannot fix, or do not need to fix right now.
Checkbox elements in the sidebar lists do not have a visible focus indicator when navigating using keyboard controls.
An empty heading located in the side bar has been implemented as a heading 3 element.
When using the search functionality, information presented in a list format has elements that are not contained using tags in HTML.
Both 'dd' and 'dt' elements are not enclosed using a 'dl' tag.
This issue also occurs on the shortlist page, when searches are added to the shortlist.
When searching by Keyword or Location using search functionality, a H1 heading level is empty, located just above the 'search' section.
When search results are saved and added to the shortlist page, the structure of the page skips a heading level.
Heading level moves from H1 to H3, skipping heading level H2.
The 'Help with searching' page also skips heading level H2, structured using H1 and skips to H3.
Across all pages, two form control elements located in the 'Search' section of the page do not have programmatically associated labels; form control boxes for both 'Keywords' and 'Location'.
This is not compliant with WCAG guideline 1.3.1 or WCAG guideline 4.1.2.
Form control elements do not have either a text label or asterisk icon to show whether the fields are required.
Some text based web content does not meet the minimum colour contrast ratio of 4.5:1.
Some non-text content does not meet the minimum colour contrast ratio of 3:1.
Some alt-text is insufficient in description, other images are marked as decorative when they require alt-text, and some images have filenames as alt-text.
When CSS is disabled in the web browser, a button does not have any text in and visually is hard to understand its purpose.
When navigating using keyboard controls, the focus order does not follow a reading order.
Focus moves from top of the page, through links in the main content, then to the footer of the page, and finally focus moves to the form control boxes.
Some of our PDFs that are not essential to providing our services were published before 23 September 2018.
