Technical information about this website’s accessibility
West Midlands Police is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 AA standard.
Disproportionate burdens
On our website, our video “Recruitment: This Work Matters” on the front page fail the following success criterion:
- WCAG 2.1. 1.2.1 Prerecorded Audio-only and Video-only (A)
- WCAG 2.1. 1.2.2. Captions (Prerecorded) (A)
- WCAG 2.1. 1.2.3. Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded) (A)
- WCAG 2.1. 1.2.5 Audio Description(Prerecorded) (AA)
The video was created and uploaded before the accessibility regulations came into law. However, we are looking to add captions, and a text transcript to the video at some stage. We will update the statement when we know when we will be able to achieve this.
Some of our images on the website fail success criterion WCAG 2.1. 1.4.5 Images of Text. We aim to fix this by December 2020.
