Introduction
govService is committed to developing products that are accessible to all citizens. Wherever possible, govService products will meet the Accessibility guidelines recommended under WCAG 2.1 for AA compliance.
The precise level of compliance is dependent on the CSS and branding used to display a form and any javascript/code and HTML elements used locally.
Testing
Forms are tested with the current version of JAWS 4 to assist blind and partially sited users; we also use SiteImprove and Wave evaluation tools and others. When used in conjunction with JAWS, Forms will output the most popular refreshable Braille displays in computer or Grade 2 Braille.
Developing
When reviewing UX/UI changes, we look to the standards defined at https://design-system.service.gov.uk/ and https://designsystem.digital.gov/ for determining best practice in conjunction with the W3C WAI guidelines.
