West Midlands Combined Authority is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
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.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Some forms elements are skipped when using just a keyboard, this fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.1.1 Keyboard. We plan to fix keyboard navigation by January 2023.
There is no skip to main content link, so people using screen readers cannot skip the navigation. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.1.1 Keyboard. We plan to add skippable regions by January 2023.
Some form fields do not have text labels associated with them, so people using screen reader software cannot access them. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.3.2 (Headings and Labels). We plan to add text labels to all form fields by January 2023.
Some text and buttons do not have sufficient colour contrast, so they may be hard to see for some people. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum). We plan to change the colours by January 2023.
Some image links are missing link text, so they aren't understandable to people using screen readers. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.4 Link Purpose (in context). We plan to add text to image links by January 2023.
Some links don't use text which describes their purpose well. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.4 Link Purpose (in context). We plan to fix link text by January 2023.
We have not identified any services as a Disproportionate Burden to fix.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
