Civil Service People Survey accessibility statement

Updated 18 September 2023

Accessibility

This accessibility statement applies to the Civil Service People Survey

The Civil Service People Survey is an internal, annual staff survey that provides existing civil servants with the opportunity to share their views on what it has been like to work for the Civil Service and their department over the past 12 months.

The Cabinet Office People Survey team wants as many people as possible to be able to complete the People Survey. For example, that means you should be able to:

  • change colours, contrast levels
  • zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
  • listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)

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