Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 22 May 2024. It was last reviewed on 19 August 2025.

This website was last tested on 21 August 2025 against the WCAG 2.2AA standard.

The test was carried out by the DfE.

Testing was carried out using:

Dragon NaturallySpeaking (2023), which is a voice recognition (speech to text) program used by people who may have upper limb disorders or specific problems using their hands - it requires minimal user interface from a mouse or keyboard
JAWS (2025), which is a screen reader (text to speech) program developed for users whose vision loss prevents them from seeing screen content or navigating with a mouse - JAWS provides speech and Braille output for the most popular computer applications
NVDA (2023), which is a screen reader for users with sight loss or visual impairments
Zoomtext (2025), which is a fully integrated magnification and reading program tailored for low-vision users - it enlarges and enhances everything on screen, echoes typing and essential program activity, and reads screen content

Testing was carried out considering the following disabilities:

keyboard only user - a user who has a motor impairment that limits them to using only a keyboard to operate a computer
voice activation user - a user who has a motor impairment that limits them to using only voice commands to operate a computer via assistive technology such as a microphone and dictation software
screen reader user - a user who has a visual impairment that limits them to using accessibility software such as a screen reader to operate a computer via keyboard control and feedback via audible descriptions of visual elements
low vision user - a user who has a visual impairment that limits their access to content presented at 100% magnification and utilises system controls, browser controls or accessibility software to increase screen magnification
deaf or hard of hearing user - a user who has a hearing impairment that limits their access to audio content
learning difficulties user - a user who has a learning disability that limits their access to content that is presented in a way that requires a high level of literacy

Testing methodology and browser compatibility

Testing was undertaken with:

2 different screen reader packages as they often interact differently with a page
using only keyboard commands and voice where applicable - a mouse or similar device was not used
consideration given to usability and neurodiversity
in a structured way, often following a business process from beginning to end

Testing was undertaken with:

the latest versions of Microsoft Edge, Firefox and Chrome browsers
Windows operating system
