Accessibility statement

Last updated on Monday, 19 February 2024 at 09:25am

This accessibility statement applies to the UKHSA data dashboard: https://ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/

This website is run by the UK Health Security Agency. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

My Computer My Way has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

The UK Health Security Agency is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • some charts present on the dashboards use colour alone to differentiate between lines on the chart. This may make some chart content particularly difficult for some colourblind users to interpret. This fails WCAG 1.4.1 Use of Colour (A).
  • the API page does not reflow for mobile viewing presenting the page with incredibly small text on mobile devices. When the page is adjusted using OS or mobile browser text size changes, the content introduces horizontal scrolling. This fails WCAG 1.4.4 Resize Text (AA), and 1.4.10 Reflow (AA).
  • the code example on the API page introduces horizontal scrolling within the frame at higher magnifications. This fails WCAG 1.4.10 Reflow (AA).
  • there is a visual heading on the API page which is not programmatically included in the heading structure. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A).

If you find an issue that we have yet to identify, please contact us using one of the routes described in the ‘Reporting accessibility problems with this website’ section of this statement.
