Accessibility roadmap
Our accessibility roadmap shows how we plan to fix outstanding accessibility issues on this website and progress made with previous issues.
Current issues
These issues are awaiting a resolution.
| Issue | WCAG criteria | Description and plan | Target date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Image without a text alternative (PDF) | 1.1.1 Non-text Content |
Some PDF images don't have a text alternative, so the information in them isn't available to people using a screen reader.
We plan to add text support for images to affected PDFs by December 2023. We will also ensure new PDFs after this date contain alternative image text. |
|
| Tables not tagged (PDF) | 1.3.1 Info and Relationships |
Some PDF documents contain tables without appropriate tagging, such as row and column titles. This means users who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers may not be able to understand the correct information.
