Accessibility statement

Counter Terrorism Policing is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This accessibility statement applies to content published on counterterrorism.police.uk.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • At 400% zoom or on a small screen (320×256) the user has to scroll both vertically and horizontally to view the full page content, namely the options in the ‘ReciteMe’ toolbar which is available when the user activates the ‘Accessibility and language tools’ link. On a small screen (320×256) the ‘ABOUT TO CLOSE!’ warning message that appears when the user activates the ‘x’ button in the ‘ReciteMe’ toolbar is partly cut off. This fails WCAG 1.4.10 Reflow. We are working with ReciteMe to fix this issue and will update this statement in September 2024.
  • Once the user activates the ‘Accessibility and language tools’ link they have to tab through the full page content or tab backwards to access the ‘ReciteMe’ toolbar that appears, which is counterintuitive. This fails WCAG 2.4.3 Focus Order. We are working with ReciteMe to fix this issue and will update this statement in September 2024. 
  • There is no mechanism to dismiss the content available on hover over the ‘What we do’ and ‘What you can do’ links in the navigation bar without moving the pointer. This fails WCAG 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus. We are aiming to fix this in September 2024.
