Accessibility statement: parents & carers 

This accessibility statement applies to www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents   

 This website is part of the CEOP Education programme and run by the National Crime Agency’s CEOP Education team (NCA-CEOP).

 We have developed this website to make sure it is usable by everyone, whatever their ability or disability.

 You can get the best out of our website by updating your internet browser to the latest version.

 AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

 How accessible is this website?

We have built this website to be accessible with common assistive technologies and different ways of using websites.

 This means:

  • You can move around and use most of the website without a mouse, by using a keyboard or assistive technology such as speech recognition or a screen reader
  • You can increase the font size or zoom in on content
  • You can change the colours or the fonts

We have also used plain English principles to make our content clear and easy to understand.

 Compliance status

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.

 Non accessible content

We know that parts of this website are not fully accessible. 

  • Icons used as fonts are currently not loading for all users
  • Screen readers are unable to read buttons as they don’t have any text so the user does not know what the button does
  • Videos and documents embedded in the website do not have titles which can be read by screen readers
  • Screen readers are unable to describe the search because currently there is no label
  • There is no alt text on some logos used as links which means screen readers cannot read them
  • Colour contrast needs to be changed to meet AA requirements, this is an issue for users with colour sight issues
  • Keyboard users cannot tab passed the search box
  • There are issues with the main navigation panel which fails to hover for keyboard, mouse and touch users
  • The carousel menu does not work for keyboard users, and does not tell how many and what slide is being displayed
  • Some buttons are missing text that tell screen readers what the button does
  • Users with motion issues are not able to reduce motion and animations play automatically

 Video content

 The following are some potential problems we are working to improve:

  • embedded video and audio players can sometimes be difficult to use with assistive technology.
  • not all our older videos have captions and/or transcripts
  • not all our videos have audio descriptions

 We have some existing pre-recorded video content that was published before the 23rd September 2020. This content is also exempt from the regulations.

 PDFs and other documents

Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. 

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 [example of non-essential document]. 

Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.

 

What we are doing to improve accessibility

 We are working to make improvements to the parts of the website which are not fully accessible as soon as possible.

 This website will be regularly reviewed with manual audits and by scans with an automated testing tool by our website provider.

Technical information

 This statement was prepared on 31 March 2022. 

This website was last tested on 21.02.2020. The test was carried out by Netcel. 

The level of accessibility was tested by running automated and manual tests that determined where areas of the site may be difficult for users with a wide variety of accessibility needs may have trouble accessing content. 

We did manual and automatic report generation testing to determine where the sites didn’t comply with the desired accessibility level according to WCAG 2.1 AA standards.

For automated reporting we used:

  • Lighthouse in Google Chrome
  • WAVE chrome plugin

 For manual testing we used:

  • Chrome web developer tools
  • NVDA Screen reader (desktop screen reader)
  • Talkback for Android (mobile screen reader)
  • WCAG contrast checker.

 We tested inputs for:

  • Mouse (desktop)
  • Keyboard (desktop)
  • Touch (mobile and desktop)
  • Swipe (mobile screen readers)

 What we are doing to improve accessibility

 This website will be regularly reviewed with manual audits and by scans with an automated testing tool by our website provider.

 We will work to correct any non-compliances as soon as possible.
