Turas Dashboard accessibility statement

Add to favourites

This accessibility statement applies to the Turas Dashboard application (https://turasdashboard.nes.nhs.scot/).
This application is run by NHS Education for Scotland. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this application. For example, that means you should be able to:

• change colours, contrast levels and fonts
• zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
• navigate most of the application using just a keyboard
• navigate most of the application using speech recognition software
• listen to most of the application using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the application text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

How accessible this application is

• some lists are not structured correctly, which may make it difficult for screen readers to interpret navigation elements
• there is more than one banner landmark, and some landmarks are not uniquely labelled, which may confuse assistive technology users
• the page is missing a main landmark, making it harder to identify the primary content
• some content is not contained within landmark regions
• the banner landmark is nested within another landmark, which should be avoided
• the meta viewport tag limits zooming on mobile devices to a maximum of 200%, preventing full text scaling
