This statement was prepared on 22nd July 2022. It was last reviewed on 1st September 2026.

This website was last tested on 1st September 2026 against the WCAG 2.2 AA standard.

The test was carried out by The Health Informatics Service Web Development team using a Google Chrome browser on Windows 11 with a 16 inch screen. They reviewed a representative sample of pages, including:

• pages containing text, images, maps, videos and forms
• the homepage

They used automated tools including Lighthouse, Wave, Axe DevTools and ARC Toolkit, and carried out manual testing including keyboard navigation and zoom checks.

Errors found are correlated and checked manually.
