Accessibility Statement for the Renewable Electricity Register

This website is run by Ofgem. 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 using browser or device settings
• Zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
• Navigate most of the website using a keyboard or 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.

How accessible this website is

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

• Some links on the site do not communicate their purpose.
• Some information in the podcast widget is truncated when the page is reflowed.
• Some text on the site (including error message text) does not contrast sufficiently with the background.
• When zooming text only, some content becomes truncated and inaccessible. This includes the navigation menu, as well as sections of content on selected pages.
• Some headings and labels are not representative of the content present, which may be confusing for some screen reader users.
• Some PDF documents may lack an appropriate title identifying the content of the PDF to screen reader users.
• Some links may have the same name but navigate the user to a different page.
• Some links lack an accessible name that will result in the link being announced instead of link text.
• Some pages may contain empty headings, which may be focusable by screen readers and contain no content.
• Not all rows and headers within tables are correctly marked up, causing some information to be lost when focusing on data tables with a screen reader.
• Some content will overlap when zooming the page content to 400% and not reflow correctly.
