Accessibility
Our research should work for everyone who needs it, whether you use a screen reader, a keyboard, zoom or a phone.
Our target
We’re working to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA across this site.
What that means in practice
- Diagrams and charts come with a text description.
- Every page, menu, form and tool can be used with a keyboard alone.
- Text and buttons have strong color contrast.
- Pages still work when you zoom in.
- Form fields have clear labels and error messages.
Where we may fall short
Some downloads, like PDFs and spreadsheets, and some interactive tools may not fully meet the target yet. At launch, the PDF action plan from the Secure Update Readiness Assessment is a plain, untagged PDF, and the scorecard spreadsheet hasn’t been tested with a screen reader. The CSV download and the on-screen results carry the same information.
Tell us about a barrier
If something on this site is hard to use, email [email address to be added]. Tell us the page, what got in the way, and the device or assistive tool you use. If you need a guide or a download in another format, ask. We’ll try to provide one.
