Accessibility Statement for Government Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework

This accessibility statement applies to the Government Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework website.

This website is run by the Central Digital and Data Office in the Cabinet Office. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).

Technical information about this website’s accessibility

The Central Digital and Data Office in the Cabinet Office is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

These accessibility concerns have been classified as being non-compliant, due to a failure in one or more WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA criteria. We plan to address all known concerns during 2023.

The sidebar navigation menu available when viewing the website on wider screens uses H4 headings for its section headings. This creates an illogical structure if higher heading levels are missing from the page, making it difficult for assistive technology users using heading structures to navigate. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 (info and relationships) and 2.4.3 (focus order).

What we're doing to improve accessibility

The website was tested between 19 and 12 October 2023 and was checked for compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA. The test was carried out internally by the Central Digital and Data Office.

We will:

  • carry out regular internal audits to check the accessibility of the website
  • commission an assessment of the website by an external accessibility organisation
  • take feedback from users

Any required changes will be planned into our continuous improvement work for this website.

This accessibility statement will be updated based on any issues we identify or any changes we make to address any issues raised.
