This accessibility statement refers to housingrights.org.uk. It does not apply to any third-party sites we use.
To make our website as easy to use as possible for every person who visits we use version 2.1 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). We're working towards meeting WCAG's AA standards across all areas of our website, and AAA standards wherever we can.
Accessibility problems we know about
There are parts of our website that aren't fully accessible, which we're working to resolve. For example:
- we still use PDFs, mainly for our policy documents and resources
- some of our language used doesn’t quite meet the standards we have set
How we test our website
We use various automated tools to test our website so we can meet WCAG's AA standards.
Our latest improvements
We have improved accessibility recently by making the following changes:
- we redesigned our website, improving the navigation, design and colour scheme
- we have ensured all images have alt text
- we have rewritten Housing Law in Practice NI (an 800 page PDF) to HTML content
- we have applied content design principles across all areas of content, ensuring the use of plain language
What we still need to do
- we want to include more video
- we want to include more people with disabilities in testing our website
- we want to ensure any PDFs we do upload (eg policy documents, strategic plans, impact reports) are also available in HTML content
