Preparation of this accessibility statement
This statement was prepared on 25 July 2021. It was last reviewed on 25 July 2021.
This website was last tested on 21 July 2021. The test was carried out by Test Partners Ltd.
We used this approach to deciding on a sample of pages to test:
- The website is an online survey that uses branching logic, so we navigated through all the possible paths to identify all the pages that exist.
- For each page, we created an inventory of all the content types, such as textboxes, password fields, file upload features, radio button groups, checkboxes, status indicators, description lists etc.
- We then identified the minimum subset of pages that contained at least one example of each type of content. It is not necessary to test every page because the website is entirely built by selecting components from a component library, which means that the coding is completely consistent. The authoring tool does not permit the creation of any bespoke code.
