Inaccessible content

Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of the SE website, we are aware of some limitations, which we are working to fix. Below is a description of known limitations on which we are working. Please contact us if you encounter an issue not listed below.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

• Images on some pages do not always have suitable image descriptions. Users of assistive technologies may not have access to information conveyed in images. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content).
• Some links open a new tab without warning. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content).
• Some videos are missing Captions. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.2.2 (Captions (Prerecorded)).
• Videos are missing Audio Descriptions or Transcript. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria 1.2.3 (Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded)) and 1.2.5 (Audio Description (Prerecorded)).
• Some headings are not semantically marked correctly, so it could be complicated for screen reader users to get an appropriate page structure. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships).
• Some images/graphs use color as the only way to convey meaning. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.1 (Use of Color).
• Some images include text and elements with poor color contrast to its background. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3 (Contrast (Minimum) and 1.4.11 (Non-text Contrast).
• Some pages use images of text instead of text. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.5 (Images of Text).
• On some pages, skip to main content links don’t skip straight to the beginning of main content, hero banner can be skipped on some pages. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.1 (Bypass Blocks).
• Few pages have duplicate titles. This may make it difficult for users to orient themselves and find the right content. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.2 (Page Titled).
• The text on some buttons / links doesn’t accurately describe what the button does, for example, you can see links “learn more”, “read more”, “download” etc. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.6 (Headings and Labels).
• The change in the default written language is not correctly identified on some pages. This means screen readers might read content with an incorrect accent. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.1.2 (Language of Parts).
• Country selector is inconsistently named. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.2.4 (Consistent Identification).
• Some components have roles that do not correspond to the components’ functionality. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).
• Some components are missing states and properties which might make it difficult for the screen reader users to understand the functionality. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).
• There are documents in non-HTML formats, for example PDF. They are not accessible in a number of ways including missing text alternatives and missing document structure.

Disproportionate burden

Some of the content used to apply for some types of licenses is inaccessible. The inaccessible content is published through platforms which we are transitioning to new arrangements. We believe that fixing the problems causing content to be inaccessible on the old platforms would be disproportionate.

What we are doing to improve accessibility

We are working alongside other departments and agencies to fix content which fails to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.
