BJGP Open Accessibility Statement

To help us make using the BJGP Open website a positive experience for everyone, we've been using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities, and user friendly for everyone. The guidelines have three levels of accessibility (A, AA and AAA). We’ve chosen Level AA as the target for RCGP's website and other digital platforms.

 

On a Google Lighthouse audit, this website scores 95%. However, we know some parts of this website are not fully accessible:

 

• Background and foreground colors do not always have a sufficient contrast ratio, specifically on links.

• Incorrect use of headers, including multiple H1s. 

• Links do not have a discernible name, specifically in certain components like the highlights feature.

• There is no option to skip to content.

• Tabbing is not always sequential. 

• Tabbing gets trapped in the embedded Twitter widget.

• Elements are not always visible on focus. 

• Not all images have alt text. 

 

We are always looking for ways to improve the website. Please contact us to report an accessibility problem that isn’t listed on this page.
