This statement applies to content published on support-people-vulnerable-to-radicalisation.service.gov.uk.
This website is run by the Home Office. It is designed to be used by as many people as possible. The text should be clear and simple to understand. You should be able to:
- zoom in up to 300% without problems
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- use most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
How accessible this website is
All videos in our courses have subtitles in both English and Welsh. Text transcripts are also available which should be readable by most screen readers.
Our videos do not have descriptive text transcripts or audio description tracks describing the visual content of the video. People with visual impairments may not be aware of what is visually happening in videos.
Our training courses range from 30 to 60 minutes to complete; therefore, retention of information can be challenging for people using a screen reader.
The technologies that this content relies upon are HTML 5, JavaScript and CSS3. We have fall-backs in place where possible to support older browsers and technology, but the best user experience can be found by using a modern HTML5 compatible browser or equivalent assistive technology.
Our PDF documents contain some components and graphical objects that have insufficient contrast with the surrounding background. People with visual impairments may struggle to see the full detail of the document due to lack of contrast.
At the end of each course, there is an option to download a PDF certificate. Our PDF documents are not tagged and as a result they are not accessible to screen reader users and most other assistive technologies. People with motor impairments may also struggle with navigating the certificate due to lack of structure.
The Prevent referrals course includes a PDF template referral form that people can download and use within their organisation. The use of this form is optional and does not impact completing the course.
The courses contain links to external sites and documentation that are not owned by the Home Office. We therefore cannot verify the accessibility of these links.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
The Home Office is committed to making its websites accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
We recognise that there are still outstanding areas within the course(s) that are not yet fully accessible. Resolving this remains a high priority and as such we have implemented this work into our roadmap.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (opens in a new tab) version 2.1 AA standard.
Live video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations. We also have some existing pre-recorded video content that was published before 23 September 2020. This content is also exempt from the regulations.
How we tested this website
We use the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines V2.1 level A and level AA to test how accessible support-people-vulnerable-to-radicalisation.service.gov.uk is. The test was carried out by Zoonou.
We used the WCAG-EM approach to define a representative sample to test.
