Technical information about this website’s accessibility
UK Food System Resilience Group is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Some images do not have a text alternative, so people using a screen reader cannot access the information. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (non-text content).
When we publish new content we’ll make sure our use of images meets accessibility standards.
Some pages do not have sequential headings which can be confusing for anyone using a screen reader. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.10 (section headings).
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
We feature PDFs of publications which are not essential to our services, but are of interest to the reader. We are unable to control accessibility of PDFs hosted or designed by external organisations. PDFs that we do have control over will be accessibility tested before they are added to the website, and where it is appropriate, we will create HTML versions of short documents.
