Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 17th June 2021. It was last reviewed on 17th June 2021.
This website was last tested on 4th June 2021.
Our websites are currently being tested for compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines V2.1 level A and level AA using a combination of automated tools for accessibility WCAG 2.1 standards.
Testing of the website is carried out on a per website template basis using the latest version of the axe accessibility tool. Whilst this is an automated tool a number of further tests need to be carried out manually. These are based on Google’s lighthouse accessibility tool in which the full list of tests can be found here.
Auditing
What we’re doing to fix accessibility issues
We review accessibility on an annual basis in which we strive to address any known issues as well as provide further improvements where possible.
We are also working with all our staff who are responsible for writing content for the website, to train them in producing more accessible content and to improve all the content already up on the site that has issues.
We strive to achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 AA standards, but it is not always possible for all our content to be accessible. Where content is likely to create a barrier, we’ll state a reason, warn users and offer alternatives.
If we have failed to identify a barrier, please contact us on contactus@psr.org.uk.
