This fails WCAG Guideline 1.4.5 Images of Text (Level AA). We have mitigated this by including alternative text that describes the image where possible. We plan to phase these images out by Dec 2025.\n<\/li>\n<li>\n        The site uses RECAPTCHA to protect form submissions and prevent spam. The quick link to the RECAPTCHA terms and conditions does not have the correct aria role\/label combination set up. The link remains accessible to screen reader and keyboard users but the markup may be confusing. We are unable to change the markup as this is provided by RECAPTCHA but we will review this issue by Dec 2025.\n    <\/li>\n<li>\n        The nav submenus contain hidden list items when the page loads, however the container around those list items is visible to screen readers. During testing this didn&#8217;t appear to affect functionality but it may be confusing for some screen reader technologies and fails WCAG Guideline 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A) We will review this issue by Dec 2025.\n    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Disproportionate burden<\/h3>\n<p>Not applicable. We are not claiming that any of our accessibility issues are disproportionate to fix.<\/p>\n<h3>Content that&#8217;s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations<\/h3>\n<h4>PDFs and other documents<\/h4>\n<p>The accessibility regulations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/uksi\/2018\/952\/regulation\/4\/made\" target=\"_blank\">do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018<\/a> if they&#8217;re not essential to providing our services.<\/p>\n<h2>\n    Preparation of this accessibility statement<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>This statement was prepared on 2nd Dec 2024.
