Technical information about this website’s accessibility

The National Crime Agency 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 and exemptions listed below.

Non accessible content

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

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • There is no visible keyboard tab focus on the logo in the header ( WCAG 2.4.7Focus Visible) across all our website pages. This will be corrected in March 2023.
  • Horizontal scrolling is required when the page is zoomed in at 400% or viewed in mobile view (WCAG 1.4.10 Reflow). We are reviewing this and potential solutions in March 2023.
  • When the page is zoomed in at 400% or viewed in mobile view, the text spills off the page. When the user scrolls the extra page border is black. The black background fails with the text (WCAG 1.4.3 Constrast(Minimum))We are reviewing this and potential solutions in March 2023.
  • On our CEOP-reporting page A ‘Not ready to make a report yet?’ notice pops up when tabbing past ‘under 18 years old’ or if focus leaves the page. This is an unexpected change of context (WCAG 3,2.1 On Focus). We will be reviewing this with our audience and whether this feature can be replaced or removed, in March 2023.

What we are doing to improve accessibility

 This website will be regularly reviewed with manual audits and by scans with an automated testing tool by our website provider.

 We are working to correct any non-compliances as soon as possible.
