This accessibility statement applies to the NHS Counter Fraud Authority (NHSCFA) website (https://cfa.nhs.uk).
This website is run by the NHS Counter Fraud Authority. The learning platform has been designed for as many users as possible. You should be able to use the following features.
Training modules and interactive popup quizes launched from this platform are not designed for accessibility. Are not responsive in nature, and do require full screen activation to be viewed. They cannot be used on mobile devices.
The following features are affected in these instances.
We've made the website text and text within modules as simple as possible to understand.
If you have a disability, then AbilityNet has advice to help you make your device easier to use.
NHS Counter Fraud Authority is committed to making all its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
We use automated testing to inform most of our improvements to accessibility on the site.
Automated testing can't find everything that could be improved but we are confident about what it does find.
This means we have fixed many of accessibility problems which manual checking may of overlooked.
This website undergoes automated testing against the W3C WAI Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AAA standard using automated tools called Pa11y, Google Lighthouse and AXE browser plugin. These tools scan our web pages, and tests against all the criteria in the AAA guidelines which are possible to automate.
In addition, we conduct internal testing against known accessibility issues which are not able to be found through automated testing, on a sampled basis.
There are several accessibility features which we test manually, which include:
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
We know that some parts of the website aren't fully accessible yet:
Some pop out interactive windows cannot be accessed using any kind of assistive technology. The cannot be navigated by using just keyboards or voice and cannot be easily accessed by scfreen readers. Users can also not use zoom or magnification in the pop out windows of the platform.
The use of images within the data platform are for illustration purposes only and do not portrait consumable data within them. Where images are used an alternative text (alt) is provided using a visual description of the image contents.
Most of our data platform works correctly on any web technology.
How our site looks, and works is based on HTML 4 & 5, and we test for and support the following browsers:
You may experience unexpected behaviour in other browsers, although we use fully validated code which should work on modern browser. Legacy browsers and depreciated versions of browsers may not work in the anticipated way. They may also contain vulnerabilities that could put your system or device at risk. For more information on the very latest browsers visit http://www.browser-update.org/update-browser.html for more information.
The current layout of the data platform is fully responsive and adjusts in size, order, perspective or layout to adapt responsively the width of the user's device.
We are actively looking to improve the accessibility on our websites and data platforms.
The improvements below have been identified on our current work schedule.
