NHS Education for Scotland is committed to making its application accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Applications and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
The application has been tested against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA standard.
This application is partially compliant with the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) version 2.2 AA standard, due to the following non-compliances (and/or) the following exemptions.
The content is non-accessible for the following reason(s):
· Some of our PDFs may not have appropriate titles and are missing ALT tags for images. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content) and 2.4.2 Page Titled (Level A).
· Some focus styles are missing from interactive elements such as data tables and dropdown menus, making it visually difficult to see which element is focused when using the keyboard. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 2.4.7 (Focus Visible) and 1.4.11 (Non-text Contrast) (Level AA).
· Some links in the footer have insufficient colour contrast, making them difficult to read for users with visual impairments. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast Minimum) (Level AA).
· The date picker component cannot be operated using a keyboard, preventing users from selecting a date without a mouse. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 2.1.1 (Keyboard) and 2.1.2 (No Keyboard Trap) (Level A).
· Screen reader and keyboard users have difficulty using the tabbed navigation, as some tabs do not announce their state or allow proper focus movement. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value), 2.1.1 (Keyboard), and 2.4.3 (Focus Order) (Level A).
· Screen reader users cannot access or interpret nested data tables correctly. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships) and 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value) (Level A).
PDFs and other documents
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Live video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
This application is currently undergoing a redesign which will be using a new design system to bring it in line with WCAG 2.2 compliance. This should hopefully be completed by the end of 2026.
