Where it fails the success criteria
Planned dates for when issues will be fixed

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Some of the colour combinations that appear on our availability calendar can be difficult to view for users who have contrast impairments. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.4.11 Level AA (Non-text Contrast). Our suppliers plan to fix this by January 2024.

Focused states on links and buttons aren’t visible. This fails WCAG success criterion 1.4.11 Level AA (Non-text Contrast) and 2.4.7 Level AA (Focus Visible). Our suppliers plan to fix this by January 2024.

Navigating the website with the use of a touch assistive touch device is possible, although the user doesn’t have the ability to skip sections of the content. This fails WCAG success criterion 2.4.1 Level A (Bypass Blocks). Our suppliers plan to fix this by January 2024.

Duplicate IDs have been used throughout the website, this can cause issues for users using assistive technologies. This fails WCAG success criterion 4.1.1 Level A (Parsing). Our suppliers plan to fix this by January 2024.

Disproportionate burden

Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data)

The user has no opportunity to review their order data before any form submission is submitted. The use of external payment pages prevents our suppliers from implementing a review page after the payment details have been entered. Directing customers to external payment pages means we have no control over the journey that allows customers to review their data before confirming their order.

We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues with navigation and accessing information, and with interactive tools and transactions. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will continue to make further assessments as we look to enhance these features and the website.

How we tested this website

This website was and is currently being tested for compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines V2.1 level A and level AA, and these tests have been carried out internally.

When deciding on which pages to test we went through each page individually and highlighted each section where we needed to make improvements.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We plan to identify and fix issues according to the timescales shown for each area above.
This statement was prepared 5th September 2023.
