Help Accessibility
We’re constantly working to make GOV.UK as accessible and usable as possible.
The website doesn’t have a separate accessibility statement. This is because we’ve tried to design GOV.UK to be as accessible and usable as possible for every user.
You can read a blog post about what we’re doing to improve accessibility on GOV.UK.
Compatibility with tools
GOV.UK should be compatible with recent versions of the following screen readers:
- Jaws
- ZoomText
- NVDA
- VoiceOver
- Window Eyes
- Supernova screen readers

The site should also be compatible with:
- basic operating system screen magnifiers
- speech recognition software, eg Dragon Naturally Speaking
- operating system speech packages
