Accessibility Statement

We’re committed to making our website accessible so it can be used by as many people as possible.


This statement applies to content published within the HypaMaps domains and subdomains. We aim to make our website accessible to the widest possible audience. This means, for example, that you should be able to:

  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of our website using a keyboard
  • navigate most of our website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of our website using a screen reader

Search AbilityNet for guides to make your device easier to use.

Technical information about the accessibility of our website


We’re committed to making our website accessible, in accordance with the accessibility regulations.

Compliance status


Our 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


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

    • some header structure and page IDs are not optimised for screen reader use
    • there is a lack of alternative text on some images and some images are used as links
    • missing or unclear page descriptions
    • missing labels in some form fields

We’ve prioritised our work to improve the accessibility of our website based on analytics and any new pdf, HTML or alternative file format documents we publish will aim to meet accessibility standards.

Disproportionate burden


  • Low traffic micro sites are not being prioritised for accessibility improvements
  • Committee written evidence submissions from the public. Efforts will be made to ensure that these pdfs are made as accessible as possible via automated means. HTML versions of the evidence are also present on the site
  • We do not plan to add captions to live video streams where these are exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations. We intend to identify and implement new technologies that would make this possible when technology evolves

We regularly test our website for compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard using a range of automated tools.
