Technical information about this website’s accessibility

OY RBKC and Westminster is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

  • The misconceptions about shisha smoking video does not have any audio which means that any text that appears on screen is not conveyed non-visually. This fails WCAG 1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) (A).
  • The contact form uses placeholder text for form labels. The placeholder text disappears as users enter information into the fields. This fails WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (A).
  • At higher levels of zoom the core navigation is replaced by a burger menu. When some items receive keyboard focus, they fail contrast requirements. There are a variety of colour contrast issues across the website when white text or pale grey text is used against the various branding colours. This fails WCAG 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (AA).
  • The Drink Less page contains an information banner that does not have alt text that provides all contextual information. This fails WCAG 1.4.5 Images of Text (AA).
  • The contact form focus indication for form elements does not meet contrast requirements. This fails WCAG 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast (AA).
  • At higher levels of zoom a burger menu replaces the main navigation. The sub menus in the burger menu are not accessible to keyboard alone. The Previous and Next buttons related to the What Our Clients Say elements are not keyboard accessible. This fails WCAG 2.1.1 Keyboard (A).
  • The sign up journey uses a separate form builder. Some of the questions on the sign up form uses single key character key shortcuts. This fails WCAG 2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts (A).
  • The Be Smoke Free page has a mismatched page title and H1 heading. This fails WCAG 2.4.2 Page Titled (A).
  • The cookie banner appears last in the tab order meaning that keyboard only users must navigate the entire home page before they can make an informed decision about their cookie preferences. This fails WCAG 2.4.3 Focus Order (A).
  • Logo links and other image links do not have accessible names that make it clear where the link leads. This fails WCAG 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) (A).
  • When a user opens cookie controls, the controls do not receive immediate focus. This means that the user is navigating behind the visible modal window with their focus obscured as they move through main page content. This fails WCAG 2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) (AA).
  • When using the form as soon as an entry is made with a mouse or keyboard the next question is automatically launched regardless of whether the OK button has been selected. This is inconsistent and not all parts of the form behave the same way. This fails WCAG 3.2.2 On Input (A).
  • News articles and other tile components have multiple links to the same page but each is identified differently which is highly confusing to users. This fails WCAG 3.2.4 Consistent Identification (AA).
  • Some error messages do not automatically receive focus meaning that screen reader users are not alerted to the error. In addition, the nature of the error is not communicated clearly. This fails WCAG 3.3.1 Error Identification (A).
  • The tab options for the cookie controls modal have nested interactive components. Various links do not have descriptive names. Arrow controls for some carousel content use images rather than buttons. The newsletter sign up field needs an accessible label associated with the form field so that it is described to screen reader users on entering the field. This fails WCAG 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (A).

If you find an issue that we have yet to identify, please contact us using one of the routes described in the ‘Reporting accessibility problems with this website’ section of this statement.
