This accessibility statement applies to the Family Nurse Partnership (FNP) application.
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:
• 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
• skip to content links at the top of the page
We’ve also made the application text as simple as possible to understand.

Parts of this application are not fully accessible. For example:
• labels are not correctly associated with form elements
• warning messages are not announced by screen readers
• the HTML language tag is missing
• tabbed navigation skips some links when using a keyboard
• skip to main content link is missing
• accordion components cannot be accessed or operated using the keyboard
• graphs and charts are not accessible to screen reader users
• landmarks such as <main> are missing from the page
• the layout breaks when zoomed past 200%, creating overlap and navigation issues
