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 about 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
• Magicetc

The site should also be compatible with:

• basic operating system screen magnifiers
• speech recognition software, eg Dragon Naturally Speaking
• operating system speech packages
