Third party tools
The site is built using DokuWiki, a third-party open source wiki platform. It is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1, but we are aware of some accessibility issues which would need to be fixed centrally by the developer.
These include:
- Unlabelled form control (1.1.1, 1.3.1, 2.4.6, 3.3.2)
- Low Contrast (1.4.3)
- No Page Regions (1.3.1, 2.4.1)
- Skipped heading level (1.3.1, 2.4.1, 2.4.6)
- Redundant Link (2.4.4)
- Accesskey (2.4.1)
We have made the decision to continue using DokuWiki, but will monitor any changes to its accessibility and revisit this as required. We will also contact the developer to establish whether there are any planned improvements to the above.
Documents
Some of our PDFs, Word documents and Excel spreadsheets are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how customers can configure the govroam service.
Any new documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
Older 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. For example, we do not plan to fix our ‘High Level Architecture’ PDF.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We're committed to working on the issues outlined above, either by investigating our own solutions or by raising any accessibility issues with our third-party providers.
When updates are made to this site, we will ensure that they meet WCAG 2.1 AA.
