Accessibility

The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) is committed to making its website accessible to everyone. We want to ensure that people with disabilities can use our website as easily as possible.

This website complies with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standard. WCAG is a set of guidelines that help make websites more accessible to people with disabilities.

Some of the features that make our website accessible include:

  • High contrast text: The text on our website is high contrast, making it easier for people with visual impairments to read.
  • Text alternatives: All images and videos on our website have text alternatives, which means that people who are blind or who use screen readers can still understand the content.
  • Keyboard navigation: Our website can be navigated using only a keyboard, making it accessible to people who cannot use a mouse.
  • Zooming: The text on our website can be zoomed in and out, making it easier for people with visual impairments to read.
