Technical information about this website’s accessibility
不良研究所 is committed to making its services 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 version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non compliance with the accessibility regulations
- Some forms may be difficult to submit without keyboard or touch interactions when using speech recognition software (e.g. Dragon Naturally Speaking). This doesn't meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2: Name, Role, Value.
- PDF documents aren't fully accessible to screen reader software. PDFs are untagged, headings and table mark-up is missing, images do not have text alternatives and PDF documents don't have meaningful page titles. These issues don't meet success criteria 1.1.1 Non-text Content, 1.3.1 Info and Relationships, 2.4.1 Bypass Blocks, 2.4.2 Page Titled and 4.1.2 (name, role value).
- Some videos and audio files don’t provide closed captions and/or a transcript of the contents. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded).
- Some images don’t have alt tags which makes it difficult for screen readers to describe what the image shows. This doesn’t meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1. Non-text Content.
