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’).

The Police Service of Scotland, together with individual Police forces generating website content is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is designed and developed to meet priority 2 (level AA) of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 laid down by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.

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

• 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).
• Contact Information, Incident Information, and Instructions fields may have poor colour contrast. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.1 (Use of Colour).
• Use of colour and text size in content provided by Police Forces. This includes (not limited to) areas such as Contact Information, Incident Information, and Instructions in forms. This may fail WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.1 (Use of Colour) and WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content) and so on.

• Fixing accessibility problems with content dynamically provided by Police Forces would be disproportionate because they are outside of the control of this website.

The website was last tested using:

• Manual testing techniques to check a representative sample of pages from across the website included checking that the pages can be navigated using only a keyboard and in-browser magnification up to 400%.
• Automated accessibility audit tool, AXE Devtools and Windows Narrator screen readers to check the accessibility of the website.

We have an ongoing commitment to make our website as accessible as possible to all.

• We are reviewing HTML page mark up to ensure compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.
• We are reviewing our use of language to make content easily understandable.

This statement was prepared on 20th June 2023 and last reviewed on 10th July 2023.

This website was tested in July 2023 by Unisys. The pages were assessed against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.1. level AA.
