Accessibility statement

The NCSC is committed to providing facilities and resources suitable for people with disabilities.

This website is run by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC). The NCSC is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

CyberFirst, as part of the NCSC, is committed to providing facilities and resources suitable for people with disabilities.

For example, that means you should be able to:
- Zoom in up to 200% without the text spilling off the screen
- Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- Listen to most of the website using a screen or text reader
- Browse most of the website using a high contrast viewer or filter

We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

We know some parts of this website are not fully accessible.

For example:

Missing Alternative Text
Most of the images on the site do not have text alternatives as they are considered decorative and do not add information to the content of a page. Most images on this site are used:
- Supplementary to link text to improve its appearance or increase the clickable area
- Illustrative of adjacent text but not contributing information
- Identified and described by surrounding text

Form Labels
Some form controls do not have a corresponding text label or have more than one associated label which means that it may not be presented correctly to those using assistive technology.

Ambiguous Links
Some links have extraneous text (such as "Click Here") which may cause confusion for some users.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

We plan to:

- Reword the text of ambiguous links so the destination or function of the link is clear

- Review image usage on the site and ensure any new content meets accessibility standards

- Audit the site for accessibility

Enforcement procedure

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is responsible for enforcing the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018 (the ‘accessibility regulations’). If you’re not happy with how we respond to your complaint, contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
