Aspects of Website Accessibility
Checked |
| Standards of accessibility are measured
against the checkpoints outlined by the World Wide Web Consortium’s
(W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG). |
| There are three levels of accessibility
standards as outlined in WCAG. Priority 1, containing 16 checkpoints,
is the minimum recommended level of accessibility. For the
purposes of the surveys, the home page of each website is
manually tested against Priority 1 checkpoints. A full list
of Priority 1 Checkpoints can be found on the W3
website [opens in new window]. |
| |
Methodology |
| Where an organisation has an accessible
or text-only version of the website, this is tested. Home
pages are manually checked against WCAG Priority 1 checkpoints.
A score of 100% means that the home page (and only the home
page) has passed all the Priority 1 checkpoints. Passing the
Priority 1 checkpoints should not be interpreted as meaning
the website is fully accessible. |
